Use a morry 1100 radiator. They are a bit bigger (longer at the front) and have no problem fitting in a clubby. Ya gotta bash the top tank a bit to make em fit in a roundie.

I run a 2 core in Barney (1293A+) and a UK 3 core in my 1360 (with a `matic freshair heater).

2 core is not bad, but the UK rads are just not as well built as the Oz ones-

My UK 3 core shook the front support off the top tank in 2 weeks. Oz ones have rivets there, but UK ones are just soldered.
So, shortly I'll rip it out and fit a recored Oz one, with the tap in the bottom. Another thing wrong with UK ones...

go to your local radiator guy and ask them to make up a 3core CT type core and fit it to your noraml tanks. shouldnt be much more than $200.
great for modified raod cars as i have compared between uk 2core and a local 3 core and 3 core is much better.

cooling area is the same but slows the water down more to allow it to cool on its way thru the radiator.

what is the core, is it just an exspression or is it the sump looking thing on the top and bottom or the rad

`core' is the actual radiator bit between top and bottom tanks, with fins across it and tubes thru it.

I'm running with the extra clubbie heater core.
Temp is good,but still does not like sitting at the traffic lights for tooo looong.

Nice engine bay..I like the carbies!

If your talking about a daives craig pump not being small enough, they also make a elec controller to up or down the temp (it must up or down the flow). Now last time i looked the smallest pump they made was an 80L per minute pump, but now? Best bet is to either call them or check out the website i guess

nothing wrong with the standard setup, I like the plastic 16 blade fans, and use spacers to get the fan as close as possible to the radiator - I reckon that's the key to a cool running mini, if the fan is too far from the rad, you're pushing crap uphill from the start

I did run an electric fan and clubman heater core in the engine bay on a couple of my previous cars, my cooper now doesn't get over 1/2 on the guage no matter what the conditions are, and it usually sits on the C mark - it's exactly as it came out of the factory except for the beefy motor
