Matt Woods recently did an excellent article in Mini Mag about Pace making him a new alloy rad.

I'd have a look at some production car's cores and see if you can make them work with some thoughts to end cap design.
Then try and make the system have as much capacity as you can fit in

also Allard or concept racing mate

Not as expensive as you might think, but that depends on how cheap you think is cheap

Thats good to no.

Oh ive heard that some cheap rads use the same core as an intercooler core, thus flowing great but acctually too fast for it to cool the water.

Not sure how true it is, am sure someone could prove one way or other

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Here's one I made today. I've used a twin core set up, both tubes 22m in width.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
