HI guys, great info given but my radiator I bought as a mk2 clio is much bigger than that. The lugs that hold the mounting rubbers jam on the inside of nosecone if I tilt back at bottom and if I stand rad up in usual position the lugs hit top of nosecone. looks like polo rad is much better . Might wait till stoneleigh and have a look at roadster builds if you guys dont mind.
cheers
tony.

Tony,

I know when we where fitting Ash’s radiator (now for the life of me I can’t remember what it is off) we cut loads of the plastic of the corners of the radiator, to the point I wouldn’t cut any more as I was convinced we were about to cut too far.

Then the rad was lent forward at the top until it cleared the nose cone.

Hope my waffle is of some use.

Cheers Ginge
