I am trying to locate the allegro 1300 radiator that is required for my mk1 rebuild, the person I am talking to is asking me if the radiator is from a series 1, 2 or 3 allegro ?
Can anyone help me to determine which is the correct radiator !
I understand that on series 1 & 2 the bottom hose is on the left and on series 3 it is on the right.

The top and bottom hoses are on the LH (N/S) and the feed from the header tank is on the RH (O/S). It is a return flow radiator, i.e. it goes across down and back across,, and very similar to the Mk1 Metro, but the Metro rad doesn't have the header tank feed (that comes off the thermostat housing).

There are some photos on the second page of this posting viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2736.
