20vT alloy radiator in a 16vT - 05/01/2017 11:43

Hi all, First of all happy new year to all of you!!

I know I saw this ome were. The 20VT radiator isn't a direct fit for the 16vT right? I was thinking to buy it on ebay from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIRENZA-ALLOY-...L-/350722660393

I know that I will have to do some modifications on the pipes as they are not facing in the right direction. The Cuestion is will the 2 pins at the bottom of the radiator fit in the same hole for the 16vT ones?

Can't help you off-hand about the location pin positions, though I'd *expect* them to be in the same place.

However, one significant difference is that the 16v has a thermal switch for the fan on the battery side of the fan - single contact for the NA, double for the T - so you'll either have to let in a boss to mount it, or you'll have to arrange an inline switch in the return line. It might take some experimentation to make the fan come on at the right temperature.
