Its for the rad fan switch. I'd put a rad fan switch in it personally.

You're lucky to get a good Mk1 (with the inlet/outlet at the same end). All the NOS I've seen on ebay has been Mk2 with the stubs at opposite ends, or they've wanted silly money for the Mk1. Both my donor Metros were Mk2 and both radiators were rotten. That ding will straighten out easily. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Looks like you will need the switch, the red plasting tang and the rubber seal in that ala SPi.

After you re-motivated me, I am now watching two on eBay (Mk1s) and they are cheaper (so far, until I get outbid) than six months ago..... We shall see......
