John:

The likely reason you aren't getting a response is that it would require
disassembly and removal of the radiator in order to get an accurate
measurement!

While I believe in going out of my way from time to time for the benefit of
the List, I think that most people would agree that pulling the radiator in
order to measure it would be going way beyond the call of duty.  :-)

Maybe a list vendor or someone that has one already out can measure for
you...

I am asking this question for the third time, can someone please give me the
dimensions of the Vanagon radiator core?
Its width, lenght and depth as well as how many rows (depth) of cooling
tubes there are. ie is it a 2 core, or 3 core radiator etc.
I obviously do not have one, they are almost impossible to get here in New
Zealand, so I want to use a radiator from another vehicle, making sure the
donor radiator is as close as possible to the original VW.

John

Can anyone give me the physical dimensions of the Vanagon radiator, inches
or cm, don't mind.
Also the thickness of the Rad and how many rows (depth) of "cooling tubes"
there are.
Thanks
John.
