Default Radiator

I have a clio 2000 model radiator for my roadster the one with a straight spigot and one at 45 degrees

Does it matter which way up it goes?

My guess is that it shouldnt as long as your plumbing is correct but i thought i would ask you all for your opinions on the matter

Hopefully it doesnt matter as it would be much easier for my plumbing if the 45 degree is at the top pointing down

Thanks mate, its staying like that then

I assumed this was the wrong way because of a few peoples build pics having the 45 at the bottom not the top, probably doesnt make a difference anyway but thought i would ask, as someone normally knows the answer!

I managed to get my 45 deg at the bottom, but that was with the help of a few 32 mm alloy hose joiners and a hose with a pre formed bend I found on ebay. Took lots of searching but it worked out a treat. Just need my nose cone to confirm its all spot on!
