L.Series Radiator Specs Wanted

Post by RSR 555 » Thu Mar 04, 2010 4:29 pm

Hi All.. Help wanted. Just as the title reads I'm looking for specs, if you have pics as well that would be awesome, on the L.Series radiators if anyone has them lying around on their computer?

I don't have any specs handy but I'd suggest calling a couple of radiator places and asking them nicely to look through their books. They'd probably have some kind of specs listed.

Thanks Julian that would be great (I'd need all details like mounting holes and pins if possible, etc..) :) I'd do that myself but I'm trying to get organized for heading south. I'll call you when I'm on the new highway and see if we can catch up ;)

I've just done a quick sketch of a rad for you to use for the main points I need.
