Looks high to me too. I struggled to fit mine under the nose properly. Best to temporarily fit the nose and then get the rad in about the right
place then fit it and fine tune later in the build.

I would have said the more central you can get the rad' to the middle of the nosecone hole the better... just to get better airflow.
But that makes it harder with the lower rad hose so I wouldn't worry too much.
Looking at the pics though has just inspired me to realise that the four front mounting holes in the rad would be perfect to mount the 'wind
guides' to prevent air getting around my radiator! Hmmm.
Cheers,
James

I can't prove it with photo's as the others have above, but I also think it might be too high - having said that, I also think that it
might be just about OK for your average Roadster etc

as low as poss to keep CofG low but position depends on whether you can get teh plumbing connected and if you can fit the nosecone.
there is no radiator cap hence no need to keep it as high as possible to avoid air locks since you'll have to use expansion tank.
