what radiators are people using? I have a robinhood 2B and Cortina radiator doesn't leave me room for a fan !

Depends on your engine.. Polo rad on my st170 no problem.

Taxi rad on my V8..

I used a 40 tube twin core on my Hood
Cortina pattern but thicker

snapper do you have a pic of your rad set up please?

I've got a clio rad in mine, same size, but angled lower pipe means it can sit better with fewer connecting pipes

no room for fan? very strange......

before you do anything (e.g. changing rad) please post a pic of the actual arrangement.

ususally there is lots of space on a 2B for a fan.

you can mount the fan directly on the core of the rad...no matter front (nosecone) or rear (engine)...you only need to take care to buy the correct one (suck or blow).
