Hi,

I Have been trying to fit a new ali radiator in my mini, though I am having a lot of trouble with the bottom radiator cowling coming into contact with the crankshaft pulley.

Has anyone experienced this before?

I have even taken an angle grinder to it with no avail.

Personally, by cutting the cowling and trying to bend the bottom mounting bracket I think I have made it worse.

If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.

Perhaps I need to start over with a new bottom bracket and cowling. I live in Perth, if anyone can asisst with a good s/hand item it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Roc

There were 3 different bottom brackets and 2 different cowls that I know of. Perhaps the ones you presently have off-set it all the wrong way. Might need to go lookin' for some different ones.

I remember having the same problems until I realised I was trying to use a clubby bottom bracket in a roundie.

Is it a standard radiator or is it wider than the old one?

Do you have an A+ engine with the breather can on the timing cover?

Cheers,
