as it turns out the bloke sold the centura about 10 minutes before I posted that, but looking at another one he has there (that hes not selling) I reckon its about the size of an original XC radiator.

Thanks for all the help. I want to reduce cutting as much as possable. I will go out and enquire about these radiators. I know that a re cored Centura one seems to be the go but damn they are hard to get.
Cheers |

I think that most people use the XA-XC cross flow type radiator mounted behind the bonnet slam panel & in front of the welded in lowe cross member with a section of the front stone tray cut out for extra air flow.
