Alloy Radiator Upgrade

Post by Ferngar »

Hi All,

I would like to upgrade the radiator in my 4.6 Rover engined Hawk 289 but have a couple of questions.

Is the standard fitting from a Rover SD1 (3500) and does anybody have suggestions for a quality aluminium replacement.

Many thanks, Roger.

Hi Roger, the main question is where are you mounting it?
In the nose of the body or between the chassis rails?
It makes a big difference in the available space.
In my build I'm going between the frame rails.
