Hi all, I need a new rad for my '6 as mine won't last much longer... There are two on ECP and the only difference I can see is one is 10mm thinner than the other but the price difference is huge!
Is there any difference in these rads performance wise? - does a '6 need the thicker rad?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

There are also 2 different fittings from the bottom pipe mate so be sure you get the right fitting. I expect one of those rads is a nissens rad and the other just a standard one

ahh thanks, yeah the two im looking at are nissens, just one is £30 and the other is £100

they both look identical, suppose its best to just get the bigger one. I'll measure the pipe as you said to confirm, thanks

Not sure if the size of the pipe is any different but its the fitting that differs
