Hello

This is my first post asking for advise, ive had a search around the forum and cant find what im looking for, so appologise if its already on here.

Can any one give me the dimensions of the series coolant radiators?

I am doing some work to my S1 80" V8. It has had a radiator fitted in the back across the roll cage in the past, which has served well for off road use but im now trying to tidy her up, and would like to move it back to the front, as its not the prettiest of things to have hanging on the back.

As i dont have an origional radiator I would like to know the dimensions of series rads and hose posistions to help me work what will suit best.

Many Thanks

Mark

Just buy an original rad if needed although I doubt it'd cool it!

I'm running a honda S2000 rad or was, thats now been removed in favour of a jag one because I'm upgrading the 3.5V8 to a 7.03 cadillac lump

My other worry is will i keep it cool!

I only have about 3 inches from the front panel to the shaft on front of water pump, so wondering how thick an origional is?

Next step might be a trip to some of the local car breakers with a tape measure.

I'd want £40 plus postage, its brand new hand made aluminium race radiator

I ran it for about 5 mins total and now I'm fitting that monster sized V8 so no use for it! In Cumbria but there is LZ courier service on here

Thanks Dr Evil

Looking at my scribbled drawings, unfortunaltly it wont fit.

I have 26" x 12" to fit right across the front between the steering relay arm and the bonnet.

Think ill pop to a car breakers with a tape measure and see what I can find.
