Aftermarket Rad
« on: May 29, 2020, 01:53:37 PM »
Hi, my Rad is shot on my 1600 coupe what aftermarket can i use.i know i will have to fabricate mountings all i am worried about is the overflow pipe on the expansion bottle doi need itbor can i block it off. I see you can fit a st focus one but for my needs will a normal focus one be ok as long as i get the dimensions right.One other problem is the fan switch in the rad itself

I think as per the advice on FB you are best getting your current rad re-cored/rebuilt. A few threads on here about using a Focus ST rad, but for performance when twin carbs are fitted. I'm not aware of any generic aftermarket item.

I'm having a completely new one built from scratch for my Spider right this moment.
Don't know why this has to take + 3 weeks though  ::) Should give them a ring one of these days  8)
