Hi. Can anyone describe what an early '65 998 radiator looks like, or better still post a photo. I've ended up with 4, all different and all mk1 I think, but have forgotten which is the right one what with flat tops, round tops, drain taps, brass, plugs, Coventry this and that etc. Cheers

I think it's the Coventry flat top with 16 gills and a drain tap?

Isn't that the Cooper one? Would also have the letter C stamped into the vertical section of the frame.

I thought the originals were 13 fins per inch, with a drain tap.

ditto

It is a Cooper, a 998 Cooper. They're not all 'S's

was 16 gill not the export rad at that time with 13 for a std S and 11 for a std mini

According to Parnell's book, 16 gill introduced late '64 and rounder top mid '65. The fan was 16 blade standard and 6 blade for hot climates.
