AlanChatterton Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I need a MKII Stag radiator to borrow for a week or so, as a trial fit before the car goes in for painting. I know my bonnet needs some "adjustment" before it gets painted!Ideally, an old knackered one would do, as long as the bottom mounting lugs are there and the top filler with the plug in is there, that'll be fine.Midlands based would be a bouns!!!!either a short term lend or perhaps even a cheap purchase?All help greatfully recieved!

AlanChatterton Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Mike,D'oh!!....... forgot about you!Andy & I (and my bodywork man) are all going away camping this weekend, so its an ideal opportunity to get the rad from Reading to Kenilworth.... even if it is via Ross on Wye. But, thanks for the offer, I may come back to you if it goes pear-shaped.Worth double checking on yours, if you are changing the bonnet. Using a MKII radiator, the filler nut hits on the bonnet frame, it needs "relieving"........ for it to fit. Mine had a MKI engine and rad in, which will fit without modification, but we are now using a MKII engine and ought to use a MKII rad as its better. MKI will fit, MKII needs a minor mod, and now is the time to do it before it gets painted!Auto surround is yours......... as soon as I get it back that is, its still fitted, but its mint!

mikew Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 [quote=AlanChatterton]Hi Mike,D'oh!!....... forgot about you!quote]How could you forget me !Thank you for the autosurround.My bonnet has a large circular cut in the left hand main support rail out where the radiator filler is, and I simply intend to cut the same hole in the "new" bonnetrgdsmike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanChatterton Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Rather than a cut out, the Lines cars just had a circular "dent"............ it only needs about half and inch of clearance.............Mine will be done next week, so I can send you a picture if you want.......... or, perhaps being as your car is rather,.. ahem, special!..... it ought to be as it was built.

Swiss Tony Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Surely if you just slam the bonnet you will get a nice little indentation just in the right place!!!Swiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
