MK2 Escort Radiator
Whats the general opinions.
I have the MK2 Escort Radiator and the chassis is finally done with all the brackets etc, but should i get the radiator recored or go for new one.
My local Motor Factors can not get them. I think if i go new i could get a plastic formed one (old one is metal and expansion pipe is a loose fit so
could not be used as a sealed unit)
Thanks

MK Sporstcars can supply one adapted for kit car use ie filler blocked off to allow expansion tank use
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I know of a place that can make a triple cored one with bits blanked off for £120 if you're interested?

Check out your local radiator specialists rather than motor factors

You may find the origional escort rad a little bit of a tight fit.
I've used a nissan micro read on my two builds

^ micra would mean work to the brackets, as would a VW polo radiator, but you can get a brand new one from northern radiators for about £30-40

Are new radiators for Mark 2 Escort made of plasitc or meta top tanks?
As i will fit a non pressurised cap to the radiator so the current over flow pipe will be under pressure & my existing one is metal radiator with
a plastic pipe push fitted into the hole.
Thanks
