    Three core aluminium GT6 radiator - any good?

    Has anyone tried these radiators, currently for sale on eBay for around £180? My triumph 6 always runs a bit hotter than I’d like, I’ve tried raising the rad into the air flow a bit more and it’s got as big an electric fan as possible.

    I managed to fit a 4 core civic rad in the front of my roadster and it made a big difference to the cooling.

      Any pictures of the rad installation, or an exact model number for the rad please? Most f the Honda Civic rads I have seen don't have the top and bottom pipes on the correct side. (need to be RH for top, LH for bottom)
      I am rebuilding a B series Marlin and will shortly need to buy a radiator. I think the original was from an Austin Maxi (Land Crab) but it's well past its sell by date.
      Cheers, Robin

            Thanks all, looking at the core sizes the civic is smaller than the GT6 and as I've got a triumph 6 engine I'd better stick with that. I'll go for the aluminium 3 core and report back for future reference.
