Erm, how on earth would you propose fitting that to a V4 :?:
It is a bit big!

I did look into one of these tho...

Just on the whole idea of NC30/35 cooling...

Maybe you could replace the top with the NC24 rad? I believe it's slightly bigger?

Ah well, enough speculation!

good luck with the re-core :)

Wow its a small ali rad shoudn't cost that much, christ a rad four times that size cost £100 and that was ali sided as well.

Definitely think I going to call several people as i though that it should be more than £100. Actually what the difference in size of the speedfighter radiator and getting the out lets modified?

Yep once I get them to look at my rad and come up with a price. But will see the standard of the work before any recommendation.

But have been quoted, over the phone, £150 for a copper and brass rad made to order.

ISTR I paid 170quid for an aluminium recore on the SV rad which is the about the same size as the NC's upper rad (and straight).
