It'll take a while but Ebay usually gives dimensions of radiators in the adverts so if you searched for "radiator" and looked through that should probably give you dimensions

330-340mm tall so about 13inch and preferably about 15 inch wide. and say 50mm depth. oh and also preferably alloy so can modify the outlets.

fussy or what. closest one so far is a honda crv or something. id need it in alloy though.

£49 plus £28 delivery isnt too bad of a price

Do you not need one that can handle the pressure of a high bhp engine though?

i think i get what you mean. like you want more space between radiator and exhaust manifold? So it would have to be not as tall so it could sit further forward under the slam panel ??? Is that about right?
