Will a V8S radiator fit into an S1?....I am sure the mtgs can be altered to suit easily enough, but is the bonnet line slightly different to clear the larger radiator?

I have a BOA Cosworth with an aluminium Sierra radiator. Its fine even in this weather when on the move, and alright with the fan on, but it does need the fan more than it ought, especially when pushing hard in these temperatures. I am thinking of going to the south of France in it later in the year so I do not want any issues....few other things to sort out aswell for such a journey....gear ratios/exhaust noise!
Are there any other radiators which people have used with success with these engines?

Are you anywhere near Cambridge? (Or Nottingham for that matter)
I work there 1 day a week at the mo, and I have a V8S rad that needs a recore (my old one) but you could borrow it to try the fit if you want - I don't think it would be worthwhile if I had to post it as it is fairly heavy.

I'm pretty sure S3/S4/V8S radiator is the same by the way, Norman did a post with a few pics a while back I'll see if I can find it.

I have a rad I've taken out of my V8S which you are welcome to try for size before I put it on ebay. I live near J20 on the M25 if you are local. PM me if you're intersted.
