Radiator size
Anyone know of a radiator that is about 12 inches high by max 26inches long? I'm looking for a radiator that would be the right fit for my build. I
want to get the popular alfa33 radiator but am having lots of trouble finding it over here in the states.

thats an MR2 radiaotr. the outlet might need to be moved to the low point. an expansion pressurised bottle required as the radiator doesnt have a
radiator cap. 13.5 inches high, 2 ft wide.

It's abit wider than what you're after but XJ Jeep Cherokees use a very short rad.
Also mk2 Golf/Jetta are fairly short too.

I'm having to replace the radiator on my Mercedes because there is a leak at the transmission cooler insert. To bad it's too darn big for the buggy.
Could killed two birds with one stone.

Also do a search in UK and USA for radiator businesses as a lot have dimensions of the rad but does mean having to trawl thro Euro and Jap
manufacturers to find what you want or maybe give your dimensions and email them as they can cross reference in there books 
madness is in the eye of the beholder  |

Seeing as the thread has already started, anyone experimented on what fits in a standard type 1 bug?

Mine had an RX4 radiator, but that was probably just what came with the donor car/engine.
The Alfa radiators like I have in my Lbug fit well in standard bug wheel wells but for a rotary you would wanna go abit bigger.

No love for the civic dual core for a bug?
This is in a speedster repop, but it's small and compact.
