MK Indy nose cone... radiator choice.
My car fits MK Indy body work at the front (I think this is the same size as Ron Champion?!) I bought a polo radiator, the wider one of the two and it
is too wide. Does anybody know if the narrower one will fit? i.e. SEAT AROSA 1997-2004 / VW LUPO / POLO 1994-2001 RADIATOR NEW - 2
YEAR WARRANTY | eBay
Or what rads have you fitted? Its for a silvertop locost.
Thanks all

I run the updated alloy rad MK sells and frankly it is too large, In addition to my engine electric pump barely ticking over I had to add blanking to
the radiator - it is too big IMO and the car runs too cool. Have you thought about trying a hayabusa radiator?

It's the narrower one you want. There's loads of people with them

Manufactures fit thermostats and by-pass connections for a reason the thermostat controls the cylinder head temperature within quite close limits
and the by-pass keeps the bottom of the cylinders warm and avoids the formation of hot or cold spots.

Hi we used the small polo rad & it fits fine
The only thing was we had to cut off the small
plastic outlet on the top left hand side, just araldited a
self tapper in the hole
good luck

Entirely true, but doesn't it make sense to fit a smaller lighter radiator to save weight rather than fit one which is too big, and then rely on
the thermostat to do all the work. Perhaps a CEC might not have any issues though....
