What type of radiator is this

[Dobby]

I've noticed a small leak coming from the bottom of my radiator and I'm thinking that I may need to replace the radiator as it's certainly seen better days. My vehicle is a 1982 model series three and now has a Holden 186 engine. The conversion was done prior to me buying the car some years ago. I have no idea as to the what type of vehicle the radiator came out of. I'm guessing that it's not a Land Rover make and may possible be from a Holden. I know that the hoses have to be modified and joined as they don't seem to be a standard size from a Holden. If anyone can give me an idea as to what type of radiator this is it would be much appreciated. I apologise for the photos not being upright. I've got no idea as to how to fix that issue.

I wish you blokes would learn to rotate images before posting them. My monitor is too heavy to turn upside down.

It looks like a standard Series III radiator but the top outlet should be in the centre, mind you it could have been re-located.

I can't help with the type, but it looks to be the same that my old IIa had in it - it too had a red holden motor.
Sorry, but I am unable to run out and check as I sold the vehicle around 2005.

I always thought that the radiator was actually biggger than it needed to be, (temperature wise) but it fitted the space nicely.
I remember taking it out around 2000 for a workover, particularly for a top seam weep.

I think it is a Series 3 replacement radiator, that has been modified a bit for the Holden engine.

Also, if I view them on my phone it very conveniently rotates the image to keep it inverted. And I am far too old to be standing on my head.

Dobby did apologise at the end of the post and said that he'd no idea how to fix the issue.

I've managed to resolve this problem as I had the same issue years ago.
It seems that there is something in the picture file that determines the orientation, seems OK on the phone but when you post, the picture is rotated.
I load the image into a photo manipulation program on a PC.
If it's the correct orientation I rotate left, rotate right then save and it fixes the problem when posting.
If the image is on it's side when loaded onto the PC rotating it to the correct orientation then saving fixes the problem when posting.

There may be easier ways but having a pop at the person posting rotated images without suggesting a solution doesn't help......

It seems that there is something in the picture file that determines the orientation...
It's called an EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) file and is attached to each image and covers stuff like date, time camera settings etc and also image orientation. You can edit it directly before posting the pic or just do as gromit suggests.
