Choosing new radiator...sizes...
Took the kit car out for its first legal drive today...
Awesome feeling....drifting along in an open car with the evening breeze blowing through the car.... Its weird to just sit there and
think...."I built this".....Crazy.....Makes all those hours spent in the garage scratching my balls all worth while!
Anyway....as expected its overheating...
The current radiator is badly located and does not get much airflow through the nose....
So, I want to fit a dual core ali afair, but the space is limited...
Are there any compact dual core ali rads worth looking at?
Im sure someone on here had a table of different radiator sizes etc...anyone know where is is?

Caterham 3 core ali racing rad, not cheap (about £300 from Pace) but will do the job in a confined space.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

As a quick "temporary" fix try a bottle of Water Wetter, will drop the temperature by 15 to 20 degrees

Hi
Quote "(about £300 from Pace)"
Or if going down that route you could try RADTEC RADIATORS for a significant saving over the prices that PACE
charge. Based in Cannock West-midlands.
