My lower rad arrived today. Quality seems good. Thermostat fits. The fan fits two of the three brackets. The other will need some "work" but should fit. I'll do a write up with pictures when it's on.

I'm going to be ordering one or two lower rads as I don't think I can pass up a new lower at £58 and £73 delivered.

And there are 'race' lower rads at £93 delivered but id like to see if they fit in standard bodywork first.

Please keep us posted on the Fitment of these Rads as im sure there are plenty of us out here who have knackered bottom rads.
I just had one Re-Cored and it cost £200!!!!
At least it will be spot on,but i could have got 2 Chineese ones :roll:

I have just ordered a set of sample rads from China. They will be here in around 10 days. I will measure the amount of water they hold and answer any other questions you have about them. I will also give them to someone to trial on a track/race day so they can give feedback on how they perform.

The ones I will be getting will be race rads but have arranged to have fan mounts fitted to any rads needed for road use.

I will only be selling the rads in pairs and will offer them at the best price I can but I can almost guarantee it will be the cheapest set of new rads you can buy.

If you have any questions, let me know.

As i said in another thread, i.ll be a dead cert to take a set.
Let me know when you need paying for the road use ones.

That is unless they prove to be less superior to a gunged OEM one!

In fairness I can't see them not being good, I ordered a pair of road ones off eBay but would be interested in a pair of geoffs race ones with the road brackets fitted
