Radiator mounting on a S2

[gordont]

Trying to work out where to fit the radiator on a S2.
Does this go onto the fibreglass just behind the steering rack? but then it appears to be too tall to clear the bonnet??
OR should the fibreglass be cut away (it has new front fitted so all new) and be mounted on the chassis behind the rack? Seems strange and no mounting holes that I can see.
The manual does not appear to show any moyunting points.....

Does anyone have any photos of this?

heeeeellllpppppp

Thanks (optimistically), Gordon

Gordon,

Mine mounts on the fiberglass above the steering rack. There are two studs protruding from the bottom of the radiator which go through holes in the glass. Nuts secure it underneath. It's a bit shaky until the hoses are attached; they do a good job of stabilizing it.

AFAIK, it's an original radiator.

Mine is the same as Art's.

The only thing that secures the top of the rad is the hose which is probably why it has a 3 piece top hose.

if its the marston radiator then it should be as mentioned above . you can fit a triumph radiator to the shell but it will have to be attached to the shell at the sides and moved back some

Here are a couple photos that should help

The first is an empty early S2 (Body # 3709 from Unit # 26/4100) engine bay, the right side by the radiator overflow drain hole was cut away for clearance of some kind when it was built into a C production race car.



The next is the same engine bay with the marston radiator sitting in place.

Gary, thank you very much.
Just what I needed.

cheers

Gary by the way - do you have a picture of the boot support angle mounting drillings in the body shell - on my car, the angle starts left from the center / middle of boot lock and goes left from there. Its also the same in relation to the midddle of the number plate ilumination opening. As the drillings in the angle are offset - how should the drillings in the body be - straight or offset as the angle drillings? I can't find any reference on the underside of the boot flange...

if someone has some information - please post in the recent boot support thread

I have a top view photo from 26/4020 (Body # 3569) that shows the radiator mounting platform nicely.

Gary, I applaud you to be able to keep this question from Emma-Knight in your head for 2 1/2 years, then come out with an answer
