Hi,
I do not have the specs for the original.
But when I go home I will mesure my bike`s radiator; it is very thin. Suzuki GSR 600 radiator and fan. Nice and compact.

I am still at work at the moment.
By the way it is not on the car, I never put extra radiator. I can see the advantage if it but never had the time to do it

Okey back to home now.
My bike radiator is; 38 cm wide 26 cm high and the thickness is 3 cm.
it is quite small one but good enough for a 600 cc bike.
Never goes over 79 C when you ride. If you idle long in the heat goes up to 95 and fan kicks in and drops it to 80 C again almost instantly.
I think it is suitable as a axillary radiator due to being so thin.

This one is from a Holden HQ / HJ heater (i think). Conventional copper, not alloy.
From memory $130 brand new, plus $30 to convert it to 1/2 inch pipes to my length and angle and solder on the mounting brackets which I supplied.
Works a treat.
I am fitting a second one on the gaurd under the booster with a fan to assist cool the rear engine.
Standard oil cooler will also fit.

what about something small like this? i was going to get it made in alloy might make more if it is cheap enough. neat fit & out the way & would be very efficient.

i think they said they could make it one for 2 core for me.

do you think my design would be ok? i was thinking mine would lay down & mount to the top of the grill bar.
