Hey Guys,

Just wondering what size/kind of radiators ppl are using?
It is for a 68 model beetle to fit in the front wheel well.
What are the dimensions of it?
Also what type of water pump are ppl using with a subaru engine?

Cheers,

Richard

Don't know about a radiator, but try and find one with the same surface area as the original if you can. as the for the water pump, the factory one is fine, you don't need and extra one.

Send Ash AKA "MISS VEEDUB" (not the pretend DAWG VDUB) a U2U or check her post on her conversion. Pete is correct with the pump,but find a radiator with at least the same CAPACITY as a stock one,not just the surface area.:beer

Mine is a tiny alfa 33 rad that is 600x300 and fiits in the wheel well. You can get away with a smaller rad due to the extra water in the pipes and the lighter car doesnt load up and get as hot.
