I am still trying to make stuff fit from one car to the other. The clubman had an 1100 radiator and buggered if I can get it to fit in my round nose, Only thing I can think of is to ditch the shroud, but doesnt that defeat the purpose of having a better radiator? Any info/ideas welcome ! PS thinking of just ditching it and getting alloy rads instead, but annoyed as I have a 1100 radiator that works just fine. (given it was on a supercharged 1330 engine it must be okay?) cheers miki.

I used just the top half of the shroud on my roundie with a morrie 1100 radiator, I also panel beated the top tank a little bit, to clear the bonnet. I had no cooling problems with my 1330 ( I also ran a mini heater core as a extra radiator behind the grill ).

The shroud will fit with some fiddling, but you will need to bash the top tank flat a bit and modify the safety catch, or the bonnet will not close. Cheers,

Righto.. so beat the crapola outa the top tank *check* temp remove safety catch *check* remove top half of the shroud *check* then... buy an alloy radiator to make it look nicer and fit! Thanks for the help, I wanted to make sure beating the crap outa it was the right thing to do. cheers miki.

You got it. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way of making it neat.
