The radiator arrived on Tuesday. Excellent service from Northern Radiators and great value.
I placed the rad’ roughly in place to figure out what is required to fix it. It’s not a bad fit but the bottom hose connection on the near side of the car is very tight against the chassis. There really is only one position this is ever going to fit.

The route for the bottom hose in my case is also a little long as the Pinto water pump outlet is on the opposite side of the car.
