John, I have a new SA radiator that brought home from my shop today to
try to answer any questions. As best as I can measure,the total
dimensions are 18 inches tall, 26 wide, 2 inches deep(thick). The
aluminum core is 23 1/4 wide, 16 1/2 inches tall, and 1 3/4 inches
thick. There is a plastic tank on each side of the radiator, the right
side being the fill and return tubes, with the fill and return
connections being located at the bottom right corner of the radiator,
located on the back side of the radiator, toward the rear of the van..
At the top of the radiator there is no filler spout with radiator cap,
but instead a threaded hole with a bolt inserted which is used to bleed
the radiator. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if I
can help further. Maybe other listees cans elaborate/correct any
errors. Thanks, Larry John P wrote:
