      I have used the all metal top and base and got my local radiator man (Dixon Radiators of Denton, Manchester 0161 336 2705) to fit a 4 core unit. This simply doubles the cooling capacity and has been great in competition use. Using it without the auxillary radiator by brazing a blanking plate where the auxillay radiator connections are. Perfect!

        How much they charge for that? I may get mine one done as it's leaking badly

          I'm sure it was about £100 plus VAT and he is a proper 'craftsman'. Give him a call his name is Alan.
