Hi folks,
I'm loking for a replacement radiator for my Scimitar project. I have re-engineered the front end support structure and want to fit the biggest radiator I can squeeze in there.
Does anyone know of any online catalogues or lists that give details of radaitor dimmensions, pipe orientations and which vehicle they are from?
Regards,
Smiler.

There is a company called Nissen that make replacement radiators for most cars. Years ago I had them send me a list with all their dimensions. I don't have the list anymore but give them a try.

Somora is another one, I use both the catalogue and the actual rads.

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Cheers folks, much appreciated. I have just about finalised the SCimitars ne nose support frame so I now have the final available dimensions fixed for sizing the bigest rad I can squeeze in there (710mm wide by 410mm tall).  Cheers, Smiler. |

Wow, that's pretty close! Pipe orientation is opposite to ideal but it's certainly a contender.
