Hi all,

I'm not new to the forum but have never posted before. Iam building an RMC and i have had no problems fitting the radiator or removing it. It has twin fans and both inlet and outlet are at the bottom of the radiator in fact making it easier to fit radiator hoses. Some G Force builders have installed the radiator in the tilted forward position. What i like about the radiator being tilted forward is that it is invisible from the front of the car (I don't find radiators attractive just necessary) Also the nose of the car has an aluminium air scoop which directs air though the radiator no air can get around it. The scoop is polished an is more appealing to look at than the radiator. The scoop is easily removed and the radiator can be removed through the nose with fans still attached.

Hi pezza, welcome to you and thanks for posting.

I also like the clean look of the RMC angled radiator but had heard some complain about overheating.

If you remove the radiator out thru the nose then it must be relatively narrow as the nose opening is about 640mm wide on the RMC.

Would you mind answering the questions in my previous post so I can make up my mind about this thing.

Cheers and good to see another RMC owner in here.

I'm not an expert on radiators in fact i know very little. mine was supplied by RMC and has been used in quite a few of their cars so i'm hoping they know what they are doing. Mine is not alloy but i have seen a RMC with an alloy radiator mounted in the same way. I will measure it tomorrow and give you sizes.

My radiator measures approx 650x500. It is difficult to measure now that it is installed. I was told by RMC that it is a duel flow radiator. I hope this helps you make up your mind.
