Bike radiators?

Is anyone using a bike radiator in their car?
I'm looking for a lighter option than the Escort one that's in there.

Dan.

Is the Escort one steel?

It's pretty hot in Oz isn't it... I'd have thought a bike one would be too small.

Most of us use Volkswagen 1.0lt Polo or Golf (little bit wider) rads.

Cheers,
James

bikes receive a lot of additional air cooling, which the engine won't get in a car.

Hi
I have used a new renault 5gt light weight race rad made from ally. Just fits and looks well in place. Plenty cooling. Got it on ebay for 100 quid
Cheers
