Radiator size chart wanted.
After my little plastic car got a bit hot after several laps of Mallory, I'm looking for a bigger radiator! The one I have is fairly small and I
only used it because it was given to me for free! The Peugeot V6 is designed to run quite hot but at 125* and still rising, I thought it was time to
return to the paddock! At that point the water was circulating OK but the inlet and outlet of the rad was not too different. A couple of minutes
ticking over with the fan on brought the temp down OK but soon shot back up out on the track again.
So, has anyone got a chart/diagram of radiator sizes with the mountings and fitting shown?
Cheers folks.

Is the rad in good nick?
Maybe an oil cooler may help if you dont have one?
If the fan brought it down well, then the rad should be fine, maybe better airflow/ducting would be a better solution, as a bigger rad getting the
same (small) amount of air flow as the smaller rad is unlikely to work any better.

The fan brought the temp down as the car was just sat ticking over with no load on it. The entire surface of the rad is in direct airflow with mot so
much as a grill in front of it. The fact that the coolant leaving the rad was only a few degrees cooler than the stuff going in hints that its not in
there long enough to lose enough heat. Plus the rad is about a third of the size as the Pug donors rad.
