Welcome aboard!

Not 100% sure about the radiator. I think I read on here they are different because of the steering wheel being on the right side, so the hoses and such are opposite due to other components being in the way.

Anywho, someone will chime in any minute now and drop some knowledge on us.

Thanks for the replies.
The radiator I currently have is deffinately wrong. It is single core, and the mounting point on the left (sat in the car) is off set. This means the cowling doesn’t fit properly as the radiator is not wide enough.
Would any know if the UK spec one is still available please?
If not, would somebody have a drawing of the UK spec Rad so I can get one made???
Thanks in advance

We have several members who live in the UK. Start a thread in the appropriate forum section and you will probably start getting some answers. The "New Member' section is not for technical discussions.

Thank you for your answer riddle 3.
so as to save me being reprimanded any more, can you tell me which is the appropriate forum?
I can,t see any technical section like most forums have.
Thank you for your reply.

Welcome to the forum!

The "Mechanical & Maintenance" section has a variety of sub-sections that should cover the bases quite well. When in doubt, choose one of the generation specific subsections under "General Tech Help".
