Hello!
I need a replacement for my old radiator. Anyone knows what fits? Mounting points doesn't bother me - I'll make my own. The point is to get simular size, hot-in on the right, cold-out on the left and (!) small one to recovery.

its a sherpa rad with an extra core. you might be best with a re-core or one of the expensive alloy ones?

I did hear about the mx5 rad and bought an alloy one not fitted it yet ( still working on the back end) does it cool ok? It's a lot thinner!

Interesting pic David. Did you adapt the air box yourself? If so where did you get the parts?

OK, radiator fixed. Specialized company took 50PLN (~ Ł10). 2h later radiator was repaired, installed and filled biggrin

Thanks all for help.
