Hello, need help with selecting a radiator to fit a c16se in a round nose. I see a few conversions on here that have small radiators but they dont say what they are out of.lol Anyone have any suggestions? Could a mini rad be used and mount it sideways at the front of the car?

 

Cheers lad

You can bend a Vauxhall corsa B radiator and get it to fit. That's quite a common one.

 

Metro radiators have been used (I think that's what BenH uses if I remember correctly) and I have also seen a cinqcento radiator being used.

 

Its more of a case of find what room you have and then take a trip to the breakers yard with a tape measure.

 

Looking at mine you want something that can either be bend a bit (thin core like the corsa radiator) or you want a fairly tall but narrow radiator to sit in front of the gearbox and miss the alternator and exhaust manifold.

The mpi rad and fan won't fit in the standard location, but used front mounted that should work.

As M J W J said, put a slight bend into a Corsa B manifold. Will do the job nicely!
