Being a GT, Barman's car probably has longer upper and lower rad brackets as well as the obviously the much thicker fan spacer.

Such a thick spacer on a roundnose set up would probably push the fan into the radiator core.

Not too far from me... and my daughter lives in Epsom!

Yep, mines a round nose so wont be using such a big spacer, but enough to clear the blades from the super charger pully! Fitting alloy 2 core rad to replace steel 2 core to see if it lowers temp any.

 

Epsom is not getting as much sunshine thats for sure!

What thickness is the alloy and steel 2 core rads?

I have a 4 core in mine, it seems the same size as a standard 3...but I was wondering if these are too thick and I need a 2 core.

  4 core rads are massive.  Most 2 cores are the same size as 3 cores.

There was a batch of these fans produced with the mounting holes too small for the standard bolts.
