this is probably a long shot but need a new radiator for my sunny, cooked it real good yesterday.

It is a15 auto, these are bigger than normal sunny ones and have trans cooler on it. Can probably get away with non auto one and run seperate cooler.

Cheers

Hayden

I'd just get it recored dude.
They're already a good size, and with the auto thing factory wouuld be best. Smaller rads aren't that costly to recore. (Not like dirty big muscle car radiators)

I'm being tight, they want almost as much as i paid for the car to recore one. Will get it done eventually but money bit tight at the moment so thought I'd do this short term, I have got a spare small radiator here so may just put that in and link the trans cooler hoses together and not run cooler (or is this not a good idea???).

Thanks garth but want to try keep this looking original as possible, am going to swap some engines around then eventually rebuild the original one and will just get radiator recored then i think.

That said your radiator may suit another project so may be worth a look. have you got any photos of it?
