was a while ago, but M22 sounds about right. took a lot more torque than expected to get it to seal.
Just to confirm the standard thread for the TVR Griff and Chimp radiator fan switches is M22 x 1.5. Radiator is being modified and fan switch is on its way. I've ordered a pukka set of hydraulic hoses for the oil cooler. Connections on mine are 1/2" BSP, as are the connections on the other end. I've ordered two 1m hoses. Fixed 90 degrees bends at one end with straight BSP female connections on the other, plus two 1/2" BSP male/female swept 90- bends so I can adjust the angle of dangle. £34 + VAT and good for several hundred psi!

The Early Griff Rad is very similar, and the same size, but does not fit unless you modify the brackets and add a return. (I know as I fitted a Ali Griff one from RAD-TEC about 6 years ago)
I think RAD-TEC now do a Wedge Ali one. your need to get the fan kit also, or add two fans (just don't get cheap ebay ones)
An early Griff rad went straight in my 350i...I had the otter switch hole welded up and an overflow put on...The rest was in & out...Said the actress to the bishop...I think RAD-TEC now do a Wedge Ali one. your need to get the fan kit also, or add two fans (just don't get cheap ebay ones)

maybe the 350i has different brackets, as they are physically the same size, also TVR-Power and Rad-Tec list Wedge as a different part number.KKson said:
The radiator that fits is being rebuilt, but with a 22mm boss and Griff screwed rad fan thermostat, so at least I'm 100% confident the bugger will go back in where it came out. Radiator firm confirmed that the "core" is exactly the same as a classic Range Rover.
All the cores are the same classic RR wedge griff etc just with differnt outputs,bleed pipes, fan switches, brackets etc.Gassing Station | Wedges | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
