I'm using a Mazda MX5 radiator.
It's a bit wider than an Avenger one, and won't fit in a quad light model

Yeah i only put in front because of clearance issue with motor, the electric fans are more efficient pulling air through as well as if its in front it block air coming in while driving. I am Learning how to tig weld put new fan mounts on and thermo switch.

little info from the 'other' Radiator thread [in the vein of putting all info in one thread reposting here :P

Quote from: JoKer on April 18, 2017, 07:36:15 AMWent & met this guy yesterday

(what are the chance of another 'Jarod' with a 76 Avenger nearby)

anyway I noted he had a Nissan Pulsar radiator in it and thought that was pretty cool

wasnt quite mounted up but plumbed in fine & looked like it would work great

like one of those : not exactly a direct bolt in but it fitted if you catch my drift

from a N14 / N15 shape i believe
