Davo Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I can't find anything out there about this. I would have thought someone had done it by now. I've just had an old radiator rodded out in a very expensive manner and it hasn't turned out as well as I'd like. Aluminium rads aren't an option due to the way they fall to bits on corrugations. So, pre-'86 Range Rovers use one type of radiator like this: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-NRC4448P, and later ones use another like this: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-ESR3688. Here in Oz, cores for the early type are now non-existent, while there are plenty of later radiators around, brand new. In my '83, it looks like you could put a later one in by using smaller batteries, (I've done that anyway - Odyssey batteries), changing the top mounting brackets to the later type, and drilling the chassis crossmember to take the bottom locating pins. And maybe use the later hoses as well. Has anyone actually done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
