Default Radiator help

Hi,

I have purchased a new radiator for my Cosworth, however, there are issues...

I noticed the new one did not have the mounts on top, which would be used to fix it to the intercooler.

For this reason, it has considerable movement, I have seen others mention this in threads on here, I wasn't happy with this, but proceeded anyway.

When checking everything was ok prior to starting up, I noticed the swirl pot now fouls the pulley on the steering pump.

I suspected the dimensions may be different, so compared them and the new one is considerably shorter, for this reason I suspect the top hose outlet is lower.

Have I got a dud radiator, or has anyone experienced this before?

So far I have spent most of the weekend so far, not with having to find new fixings for the fans as well, so any input would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Martin
