does anyone know of an on-line source of production type radiators?.....not custom ali jobs!.....perhaps some sort of kit car site?.....somewhere where I can see the dimensions before I buy......I need a radiator thats a maximum of 60cm wide, and no deeper than 48cm.........withe the flat cooling tubes (not round) and core to be a minimum thickness of 30mm........any ideas?......just had a big overheating moment on the M25 and a warm day.......not good

My suggestion would be to goto a scrap yard and find one that you like the look of. If it's in good nick, have it, if not, get an OEM from ebay/oem.

Lots of seven type locost builders (myself included) have used Northern Radiators www.radiatorsonline.co.uk

Cheapest place around for new rads, 30 quid for a Polo rad that fits into the nose of a seven, its not worth a trip to the scrappy!

If you know what model car your rad comes from, they usually have drawings with dimensions on...
