The aluminium radiator from a 1400 Golf is used. It has an M22 x 1.5 boss for a fan sensor which could be used or blocked off if a dash mounted switch or ECU fan control is preferred.

The GRP nose cone is restrictive so the two lower mounting pegs need to be cut off. Mounting can be achieved by tapping the fan mounting bosses to accept M6 bolts and fabricating folded 16 gauge aluminium side brackets which in turn are riveted to the chassis tubes. Try to allow enough room between the rad. and the frame for a rear mounted fan assembly which is always better behind the radiator.

Most after market fans are very narrow and fit by simply pushing plastic clips through the radiator core. The hoses can now be installed as per the pictures. Silicon hoses can be used but are expensive. Your local motor factor may have some old stock hoses that could yield the bends you need. A header tank will need to be fitted as high in the engine bay as possible. A Rover 214 or VW Golf can provide a suitable tank. The small bleed hose attaches to the connection at the end of the cylinder head. The other pipe needs to be connected to a T piece in the bottom the radiator hose. Ensure that all pipes clear gear linkage etc.

Do not fill the system yet as you may have to change the temperature sensor to suit the ECU and/or the gauge.
