I had a crossover tube fitted to my 20", it made little change.
you really need a 24" xygt radiator which has had 25mm removed from its height and a finer core, i am fitting mine now and time will tell.

lh outlet...ie the waterpump outlet now goes to the drivers side on a rhd..
in the original xr gt they use to overheatbecause the only used a narrow section of radiator...
i believe a mod was done to make the radiator a dual pass setup and this was done as a factory re-call.
maybe whoever builds your radiator can lok at doing this as well.

Phil,I was thinking of fitting the l/h outlet water pump because I beleive that radiators with both inlet and outlet hoses on one side tend to not use the whole core because no cross flow.Do you think a normal 3 core radiator will do?

Mustang Kid,It's not a concourse car,anyway!!!!!!!:(
