Instead of repair or like for like replacement I am going to try a new 1983-1990 VW Polo Radiator.
The core size is smaller than the GBS original at approx 380x323 but received knowledge indicates it will have enough cooling capacity. Readily available and at under £30 delivered (vs. approx £150 for the bespoke GBS one) the price is right if I ever need to replace it again.
First step is coolant out and old radiator off. An 8 litre window-box perfect shape and size for the job.
Ready for the replacement...
Top tube is fine, just needs rotating,
Bottom tube will need shortening and a 45ยบ silicone connecting pipe,
Brackets will have some aluminium and stainless extensions.
