Re-cored rad looks good, upgraded with 3 core, but still looks OEM :thumbup:

Looks lovely. Is however the overflow from the cap not pointing in the wrong direction?

I am running a Chinese ally one. Might have to get the old unit recorded before Colchester radiators goes out of business!

Well spotted :thumbup: - I would have missed that until I was just about to re-fit the rad and it would have held me up :thumbdown:

The radiator is now back with Paul at Colchester Rad Specialists for corrective work. It's not holding me up as I have a load of tidying up to do in the engine bay whilst the rad is out and I've not have any time to do anything other than fix the sheared bolt in the thermostat housing :(
