Hi mate.
Any rad post 1984 1.4,1.7 or 2lt will do your job.
Cheers Mark.

Hi, thanks, wasn't sure if they were all the same or not, my old 343 1.4 was smaller, assumed all 1.4's were Makes finding one a bit easier but can't find a single 300 in the scrap yards round here a few years ago there were always some, might have to buy a whole car to get one (almost worth it when a new one costs over £100)

Hi mate.
If you want to run a 1.4 rad in a 360,you will need to cut out a bit of the plastic soround behind the rad. This will alow you to fit the hose correctly,but it works just fine.
Cheers Mark.

While we're on the subject, I also have a Got it out of the garage today and coolant was dripping from the radiator Not had a proper look yet, but appears to be coming from the top hose area. Hose connection is ok, wondering if the metal pipe the hose tightens onto could have fractured where it's brazed into the rad? anyone else had this problem?

Just get a new one? I'd not bother wasting time with a used rad for it to go the same way in a years time... try Euro Car Parts

Nordic got me a Nissens recore a few months ago. I'm not convinced anyone could tell it's a recore tbh, great workmanship on it. Twas not silly cheap, but it's not going to go ping like a s/h one is likely too, I've not noted many 1.7 rads where the cooling fins arn't flaky for a fair while.
