FILLER NECK / THERMOSTAT HOUSING COMBINED

[stugilmour]

Thanks Mark. I think I see my confusion now.

The wide radiator I was trying to fit is a side tank design I got from Ray at RD. Picture below.

I am guessing your radiator started life looking more like the top & bottom tank model shown below? That might actually fit with the top nipple modified to point straight back.

I am presently using a locally recored narrow radiator and it appears to have enough capacity if I can get the leaks sorted.

Hi Stu,

My radiator is the just the standard wide radiator, with top tanks. Technically it's a spitfire radiator, with inlet and outlet rotated and the filler neck removed and blanked off.

The inlet is quite far in board on it so likely not far away from the narrow radiator inlet position, which I think had the inlet on the corner. So I think you could fit the wider radiator with out an issue.

The narrow radiator is just a later spitfire unit. I guess lotus switched to them as they were cheaper or more available than the wider radiator.

Just press the blue Quote button on the upper right of the post you wish to include. It will add a quoted copy of the selected post to the top of your “post a reply” window. Type your post below the quoted text and Bob’s your uncle, your post should look like this one.

The other forum option is to Private Message (PM) the member you are after. Not sure of the details, but I think you need to have made a minimum number of public posts (like four or five) before the PM system will work for you. Or perhaps just go to the Cool Experts web site to ask your important question directly I guess.

My new caps are in the mail now and hopefully that will solve my issue.

Cheers and welcome to the forum.

G'day Steve

I was wondering if you still have the thermostat/filler housing available and if so what would the cost be now and how much to ship to Melb. Australia.
