Radiator Choice....again

[Guest bikerdcr]

Here we go again. Just ordered a Seat Marbella rad for my 2B with 2ltr pinto engine.

Can anyone that uses this system answer a couple of questions plse

Which cap to use.......

Which expansion bottle? I assume this will be a spit and suck and not a totally pressurised system?

Has anuone fitted a sucker fan on the inside?

You can invent your own pressurised header using a tank from the scrappy or use a suck/blow system. Shrouded sucker fan is fine on mine.

I have the seat rad and use a 13lb cap as used on capris, cortinas etc - about £3 from halfords.

yes it is an expansion type system with overflow bottle, rather than pressurised with a header tank, you can use whatever bottle you can get to fit whether it be one from a car or an aluminium drinks bottle.

 

i think you'd have to make a cowling to use a sucker/puller fan
