Title: Radiator for 1300 pushrod Post by: Crazypierre on December 17, 2016, 09:20:00 AM Morning gents,
While I'm changing the heater return pipe, I'm thinking it may be worth changing the rad at the same time. (It is almost 40 years old after all!) What's your advice? Is it possible to find an original one? I can't find any on ebay. Is the 1600 Supermirafiori rad the same as on my 1300? Does anyone have a new one they'd like to part with? Or am I better off getting mine refurbished? (I think firms can change the core?) Thanks in advance. Cheers Pete Title: Re: Radiator for 1300 pushrod Post by: Henk on December 18, 2016, 08:56:16 AM You might contact NRF UK
They distribute all sorts of radiators and other cooling parts I do not think they will still stock complete ones but I am sure they know companys who will do a re-core in the London area +44 (0)1327 300242 (Used to work for the Dutch headquarters) Yagmur sells new ones as well but transportation might be an issue....

try to go for an S-fin design instead of a flat fin (it has better performance in the extreme hot wether conditions of the UK ;D ;D) Title: Re: Radiator for 1300 pushrod Post by: strada on January 15, 2017, 02:21:56 PM from memory, 1300/1400/1600 were all the same. the 2ltr one ts slightly taller and has a different bracket welded to the cars cross member, ( this is easy enough to modify if you find a 2ltr rad.) i have a good used 1600 one here in somerset but has been in storage for 10years plus.

So, I got a quote to recore the rad for £200, then found a new one in Germany which I bought for £95 delivered! Can't believe you can still find them brand new. Pete |
