Morning all,

 

I am looking at buying an aftermarket alloy radiator for my mk1 shell to be used with a later A+ 1275 but some specify 59`-90` only and others 1990 onwards spi etc...

 My question is what are the differences if any as both rads look the same and which one should i buy seeing as my shell is early but my engine is later ?  :shy:

It all comes down to the shroud. One piece or 2 piece as they have different number of fixings to the rad.

Does the shroud dictate what fan i have do you know? 

I basically need all the parts from the water pump to radiator as i never had them, so i want to make sure i`m buying the right parts .

 

What rad / shroud option do you recommend if you could have either ?

 

Cheers
