Costello mark II Radiator

[Bill Hill]

Hi All,

Hopefully nearing the end of my restoration & want to replace the Radiator.

Does anyone have any idea what donor Ken used?

Hi Bill
My MK1 Costello had an MGC radiator fitted. To keep the cars originality it was recored and refitted. If you get a new one; in alloy it aids cooling. Hope it helps. Paul

Also, after the factory V8 was launched, Ken would often fit the larger radiator for the factory car. This radiator is identified with a step at the top. It requires a separate header tank. If it is a late MGB the original radiator can be used as it's similar to the V8 radiator but will require it's upper and lower tanks reversed. P

Thanks Paul,

I just checked based on your advice & it is an MGC Radiator.

Easy enough to replace after all.

I might just splash out on the alloy as it was always prone to overheating.

Thanks for your help,

Bill
