650mm x 310mm x 50mm

It is possible to get an uprate, which has a 60mm core, I suspect this is what you have seen?

Standard is fine, I wish I would have had my standard recored, as I can't see any difference with the alloy ones.

True I guess, but given mine lasted nearly 26 years (suspect it was the original) I don't really see that as an advantage.

I was saying to the OP in his other thread, that on the aftermarket ones there is no way of securing them at the top, like on the original either.

One thing I was surprised at, is that there is no weight difference.

When I had my Webber ecu I had one of them secs monitors. I did my cooling system all at once samco hoses a spec-r header tank and swirl pot and alloy rad. The temp gauge showed the same but there was a temp difference in the ecu coolant temp. It was good 10 degrees lower if I remember right. But I did fit a turbo pre rad as well
