Looking at pictures the mx5 has both hoses on the left hand side.

Somebody on here will be able to answer that ,

That's the radiator I used on my 1600 mx5. Others here have too and report it can cool their engines. It fits well and the the in/outlets are positioned well enough to work. See my thread for some pics.

Some here have recommended a Mercedes rad which fits and is much thicker.

Yep, Mercedes 190 is the one.

Radiators work much better when the air passes through the cooling fins rather than escaping around the large gaps between the nose cone and the rad. Electric fans mounted to the back of them also work much better with a simple cowling, there's a product for some one to put in to production.

Anyone have some pics and measurements on a mounted golf radiator
Thanks

I hadn't noticed until seeing these that the bigger radiator does not have the small pipe out of the top of the radiator. I have that one and it has been a bit of a pain to get all the air out of the system which would not be an issue with the smaller radiator. I made an inline air bleed in the top hose to get the air out.
