Radiator?

I have searched and not found any information on what radiator I should fit, so:

What rad should I opt for to work along with my Zetec 1.8? Also fan? Also, am after s/s tubing for the coolant hoses to fit on. I have located the samco type hose, but didnt want to run just lengths of hose and rather use s/s tubing inbetween the hoses!

Cheers guys...
John

Mine is all 32mm and 19mm for the hoses, the rad i used as per most is the early VW polo.

I think water pump was 45mm reducing to 32mm.

Do a search for polo rad and it chucks up loads of info and part number,northern radiators was the best price at time i bought.

Thanks Bob. Your hoses look nice actually so I may just go that route instead of the s/s pipes. Thought they might just look naff but i must admit yours is tidy!

I will try the search again so thanks for that as the rad you have is again nice and neat

Cheers mate,
John

Photos of my installation here and here

This was with the Escort rad but I did move to a polo rad which was a similar setup but with the rad inlet on the other side.
