Title: Radiators
Post by Geoff_W on Sep 15^th, 2008, 9:33pm

I have been trying to track down a 12 valve rad, without success, Snoopy advised me that a Mk3 auto rad would fit, as that was the basis for his last rad replacement. (Not so many Mk3s left in circulation at the breakers).

Baz advised me that the 24valve has an extra outlet and Stuart tells me that he has been running his 24valve with a 16valve 2.3 with the 2.3 header for the last 3 years, the one with the 2.0 litre diff.

So here is the question.

Will the 16valve auto rad fit a 12 valve?

Anybody done it, are they common parts numbers?

Geoff....

Give Babbingtons a ring at Leeds. They had six Scorps in last time I looked (which was quite some time ago). Probably they have all gone, but perhaps they have aquired some replacements.

The 12 valve is very much a one off as confirmed by looking at the prices on a certain ebay site.

Maybe a long shot but what about a rad from a 2.9 Sierra XR4x4 ?

Just wondering if that might fit ???

Thanks guys, GOZZ has one and I hope that it may do the trick.

I will give you an update when I have progress.
