Type of Radiator
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:16 pm
Hi all. just want to pick your brains. I have a Mighty boy with a F8b motor in it & manual gear box. I had a Auto F8b radiator in it as I was told once that they are bigger and give better cooling in traffic
.
Anyway my problem is I put the radiator in for an inspection as the top tank had a small leak at the front. He pulled the top tank off & said the core is about 60 - 80% blocked and should be replaced. I had noticed the temp only slightly higher when in traffic.
A quote for a new core is $510 all up (wtf).
without selling my arm and my dog I can't afford that at the moment.
Question. Is there another radiator that fits the mighty boy. I had a look at the forum and some have mentioned the MINI radiator.
Has anyone done this and What modifications need to be done.
Or will the standard 550cc Mighty boy radiators that we see on eBay sufficient
Thank you in advance. Cris
