MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Alloy radiators

Anyone got a preference for Serck vs Radtec

Mind you, with the pound as low as it is I might as well order from Speedwell....

Nowt wrong with Sertec ISTR this was a conclusion in the latter part of 2008

certainly less pounds per rad

Someone tell them (Serck) they have the picture of the 1275 midget radiator upside down ;-)

Alloy for ultimate weight saving, greater cooling capacity or just the bling ... ?

(toby - on the flickr pics of your engine, whats the unit on the side of the block at about mechanical fuel pump point with the braided connections to the head?)

Dean - Oil drain..

2x JIC8 fittings from the head + 25mm hose to come (thats the big 'ole) up to a 10mm breather to try to kill off some of the crankcase pressure...

My old rad had a couple of leaks and besides, whats wrong with a bit of bling ;-)

And there was me about to braze a nasty old pipe fitting into a plate for my 1380 in the same spot ... ;-)

Looks superb.

I think Speedwell just do a vertical flow rad although it looks more like a crossflow.
