Hi,
I have a radiator which I bought ages ago for my v8 locost, however there is a 16mm pipe connector in the middle on one side which I have no idea what it is for - am I OK to just block it off?

Re: Radiator question
yes, but sounds like it was provision for a remote header tank fill point.Sammy wrote:Hi,

Or a fitting for a radiator fan switch
Yes some people run it from an engine temp sensor, but the water in the radiator may be at a very different temperature to the engine

That's the only thing I could think of, so I guess blocking it off won't cause any problems.stevieturbo wrote:yes, but sounds like it was provision for a remote header tank fill point.Sammy wrote:Hi,

It does have a fan switch already fitted near the top of the radiator (which is great as I am fitting an electric fan), and it is a definitely a hose connector.Ian Anderson wrote:Or a fitting for a radiator fan switch
