radiator for Mac#1
Hi everyone,
Colin mentioned the Nissan Micra rad would fit the Mac#1 9RWorx.
Can anyone recommend a supplier for a suitable new radiator ?
Regards
Dave

Thanks Rich.
Last time I bought a rad was for an old beemer, got a good deal from EuroCarParts but this was a few years ago......
Have you decided what to build next?
Cheers
Dave

I think alot of people will be very interested to see how this engine performs. It's suposed to be very good!

that is always a good option but due to stoopid HSE, not all of them allow you to wander.
Measure up the avaialable area and look for biggest one that fits in there - think about the inlet/outlet hoses postions, nounting brackets, if you
have room for fan in front or behind etc:
there is a website that lists radiator sizes - I may have it - but I';m sure you'll find it here if you search - that will give you
make/model so may help finding the source. .... but the dimensions given, I do not know if ti si matrxi size or overall? the latter I;d guess but not
sure.

The local scrapyard has a couple Micra's but it looks like they'd had a head on collision with something substantial ;-(
I'll keep hunting around but also open to recommendations on where to buy a new rad.
Cheers

Ditto re above bloke, although his Doncaster shop has more stock.
Known him for years, I remember when he worked from a shed in Doncaster and had a 5 digit phone number!
