Post by EK283 »

It seems like the modern times has no idea about specification !

I want a 7 pounder but cant find one, any ideas ?????

Use this website (the PART FINDER menu on the left), and search for the vehicle that the radiator came out of (assume its not a standard grey radiator anymore... could be a funky bayonet type if a late-model radiator):

https://www.tridon.com.au/

Check what type of bayonet is used (large, small etc) for that radiator.

Then use this list to find a radiator with that type of bayonet, recovery or not, and 7psi:

Then order it off eBay.

Hope this helps
