Mines the earlier 99-2002 rad which is flat . In theory it should cool the Reliant with no issues IF it wasn't a 1/3 choked . I can replace with a custom made or a stock Relaint rad . With my experience in the radiator trade I know the Robin rad is the same as a Mini and it's a very tightly packed core that depends on air being sucked through to function. I do wonder if a lot of issues that people have had with Reliant engines in trikes is down to the fat they run fanless .When you get up to speed it is highly likley that the rad won't let enough air through due to it's tight pitch. I've had the same issue with tight fin pitch on Model Ts etc in the past.

That's a very interesting piece of information, Kapri. I have had problems with overheating that had no reason, until now. many thanks, I'm off to investigate
