NA Rebuild - New Aluminium Radiator

Finally i've got a new aluminium radiator! Bought on Ebay from Stoney Racing shop... On February, i've already bought another radiator from IL Motorsport, but it was defective... So, they refund  me all the payed amount (Great and honest Vendor!). But now, aluminium radiator all over Europe are not in stock. Out of stock on MX5Parts, IL Motorsport... So, i found this not expensive radiator with fan shroud on Ebay... Installed few days ago, now is in test phase!

Vendor say, is a 52mm core. But seems a 60mm!
Now some preview of this new radiator:





Thin film of threadlocker on the screw inside the fan shroud

Little bit damaged package...
