Hey chaps,

Can anyone recommend a cheap small radiator to fit into a Austin 7 Ulster, the original mini used to be the go to for compact and value for money, but wondering what the modern equivalents are ... thinking Micra etc

Cant ask on the Austin forum, its not original :-)

Cheers
Matt

One of the most popular rads for seven type kit cars, which are also constrained by space in the nosecone, is the 1.0 Polo.

Even when running 2.0 and larger engines.

Was just about to post this. The Locostbuilders forum will provide info about setups if needed (there are various discussions about sealed/vented setups from over the years, and some threads with diagrams of the piping arrangements people have used, etc…
