For my 1ggteu I used a 3 core RA23 radiator, moved it forward 20mm on the straps (had the radiator place resolder them on) and mounted it in the standard position, moved the top spout from right to left and don't forget to have the overflow moved from the lhs to the rhs.
I had the Radiator Place solder the mounting blocks for the electric fan into the radiator core.
I was also able to fit a 14" fan on the front and an intercooler with only slight relieving of the grill.

Thanks Craig,
This is good to know.
The GZE engine needs the radiator mounted further forward again (like about 50mm total) due to the S/C clutch, so I have to find the extra room and squeeze under or throw away the radiator top support panel.
Reason I ask all this is that the radiator shop the car is that called earlier today and have declined to take on the job now, citing it is more than they expected originally to do.
So now I have to get my car out of the place (today - unexpected and un-planned) and get it home.
Also means I miss the big Perth Toy Mods Mega Cruise this Sunday. 
I thought I would now take the time to ask what others have done while I try and find another mob who are willing to do the job.
<Sigh>
Cheers,
Mitch.

Come down, borrow radiators, take away, see what fits best, keep one, bring the rest back!
