Luego Radiators
SJC - 15/3/07 at 10:35 PM

HI

Just wondered what radiators people are being used in the velocity ??

I plan a duratec engine, just in case it makes a huge difference. I know Luego suggest a mk2 escort but once again they are getting hard to get hold of new and are a small fortune for the alloy ones.

Any suggestions

Cheers

Stu

Typical he's not got any listed currently, but Andy Bates does the Polo radiator at a good price.

There's also a slightly thicker one from a Golf which you may benefit from if you're going 2.3 duratec and lots of track work.

Hi

Cheers for that, will contact him to see what he can do.

Would a polo or golf bolt to existing brackets or is modification or extra brackets required??

I used a Merc 190 E - easy fit too.

I had to make some simple brackets.

Yep Polo rad and a couple of simple brackets......fits a treat!

The only other thing was that I had a small hose outlet put into the top corner of it to allow it to bleed fully.....

My Polo rad had an 8mm bleed at the top!

That's good - i had to get a place in Swansea to put one in for me...

And I've had to block mine off!
