Plastic tanked radiator any good?

Yeah, the only difference between rhd and lhd is the trans cooler is on the other side and the fan shroud mounts are different. I have extended my lines so I use a lhd radiator, I just modify the fan shroud mounts.

I think whether the fan shroud mounts are different might depend on the manufacturer, 'cos the centre one looks like it's supposed to take either fan arrangement,

The trans cooler lines can't be the only difference - what about the PAS cooler?

. . . & I still don't understand why the LHD cooler's on the wrong side. http://www.naxja.org/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif

I doubt they are using Bakelite--it is probably too brittle for the application. Most likely some sort of glass fiber reinforced composite. But I can see how there is a similarity to Bakelite.

Yeah, I was thinking that, even as I was typing my earlier post. It's definitely not one of the plastics we're more used to.
