There isn't many options out there for them. I looked into it and ended up getting a colt unit and modding it to suit.

You'll often find that radiatior shops will have access to a catalogue of bits and pieces with pictures and info, and they can match one up for you, possibly even out of a much more modern car. And for the sake of interest, my GC has a Siggy radiator (which is a fair bit bigger) with a thermo fan, which I find works really well. Especially in the great-fun peak cross town traffic I deal with each day! 8o|

Another option ... my GB rally car has had a high-capacity core fitted to the original tanks. Any decent radiator place will be able to do this for you. There is no real advantage in using an alloy radiator.

True, that's also a good and cheaper option. Did something similar on a previous car too :)
