Maverick Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi All, I installed a new Aluminium Radiator in my TR 250. When closing the bonnet I realized that cap of the radiator abuts the underside of the bonnet. It looks like the radiator incl. the cap is about 2-3 cm too high. The radiator seems to be the correct one as I also tried it with a second new (steel only) radiator and the issue is exactly the same. The Aluminum radiator is from Moss England Part No. 308850ALI. Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be or does anyone faced the same problem? It's hard to get the correct dimension of a new radiator to be sure that it will fit before ordering it. Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks! Albert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Albert, have you had a radiator in the car before the Ali, and did it fit. Or is the Ali rad a first off after a rebuild.??? have you got any spacers under the legs of the rad? Is the rad intended for a TR250? Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Check the front body mountings for spacers because if they are missing and the body is pretty much mounted straight on the chassis then the rad will foul, There is only minimal clearance to the rad cap anyway with the cross member of the bonnet .The type of rad cap in the pictures wont fit either as it fouls.

harrytr5 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Had one from Moss (copper) and the brackets were set too low resulting in the bottom pipe fouling so sent back. May just be a one off. Regards Harry TR5 Nutter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
