MG MGA - look alike Radiators

Sorted my overheating on a very long 2nd and 3rd gear climb with a new Radiator, i.e., the correct one. The look alike had a smaller bottom tank and close fins which worked ok for years untill the hard hot climb. My smaller 4 bladed fan is fine for 99% of the time a 10 inch electric cuts in at 200% and stops the 130 nonsense ! Driving hard on the motorway 70 MPH plus now shows only 185%. With a 185 thermostat. I also follow Barneys guide lines and drew the air for the carbs and heater from in front of the Radiater so that all the air has to go through the Rad. and can't sneak around the sides. Sean
