Default Re: Another busa powered 2 seater...

Being as these are all much-loved toys, the chance of letting the radiator become dilapidated and springing a leak is slim. If the radiator is going to leak, it will most likely do it from new and will be repaired straight away.

I've tried mounting rads in all sorts of places, but the only place that works with any degree of certainty, is high up behind the driver. If you're racing, a screen of some sort is almost mandatory.

Oversized radiators seldom work if they're not directly in the airflow whereas a smaller rad that's in the airflow will work. Plus, each additional litre of water equals an additional kilo in weight.
