have you made an additional bracket on you alternator or is that a standard one???

Its a Denso. And they are standard brackets. The alternator has been modded slightly.

Dunno wether im gonna get away with a mk1 metro rad and a standard alternator, what you reckon??

Turbo 22, its all down to how big you want it and yeah the connections on the water pump end are good, just means less plumbing and less of a headache to find the right hoses.

Under a clubby you should be ok. Under a round nose, no chance.

Probably the best i have to hand

This is my Fiat Cinquecento rad, its made out of copper so quite heavy but VERY efficient.

I stand corrected. You should know

This is my front rad, its a fiat one. Fits in alright tight on the starter. i didn't want to cut to much out the front pannel.
