MG MGA - Twin Cam Radiator

I just bought the twin cam off ebay, by default. Now I need a correct radiator. Does anyone know where to get one?
Soon I hope to have this car up and going. So if you see a 1622 engine for sale its mine.

By default? How is that?
I think that there was a twin cam engine on ebay too. I take it you didn't get that?

It may be tough to find a twin cam rad. I think that you may end up having one made out of MGB bits and pieces.

What engine are you planning to use in this car? You mention a 1622 which is a pushrod engine and will use the stock MGA radiator but you may have to drop it down a bit because it will sit 1" further forward in the twin cam body shell. You would only use the twin cam radiator with a twin cam engine since the size and position of the hose outlets are different than the pushrod.

I visited Peter Wood in UK the other day.
He has 10+ of everything TC (Twin Cam)...
Think he mumbled something about having new top tanks.... Mine is Original TC converted to Pushrod by blanking up one hole and adding a filler neck.

There is a 1622 engine on ebay right now.

I expect you noticed the Twin Cam radiator on ebay, # 4577259716. Just thought I'd mention it since noone else has.
