New source of rads?
I have a Micra rad fitted, but have always been a little worried that it will not be up to the job of cooling a 2.0 pinto - especially in a traffic
jam in the height of summer.
I went on an early morning scrap yard tour this morning and found this - its off a Merc 190 2.0E and is tiny! , but very deep. It look like it will
fit fine and must be OK for my engine as it can cool the Merc.

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My "bought as an abandoned project" rolling chassis came with a 190E rad fitted. It is angled backwards by about 30 degrees by a mounting
bracket sticking forwards from the bottom front crossmember. Haven't fitted it with hoses yet, but doesn't appear that there will be any
problems with clearance on the chassis rails or the nosecone. Biggest problem is that the rad connectors are about as far away as they possibly could
be for connecting to a pinto.
