Dear Forumites
I'm reinstalling my 912 from a tractor to a pusher. I'm thinking that the radiator that was part of the tractor installation is too small for a pusher. The radiator will be mounted behind the cabin, under the engine. The aircraft is tandem, so I should have sufficient air behind the cabin. If you have a similar installation, what is the size of your radiator and where can I buy one?

"Aftermarket" radiator for 912 pusher needed
Re: "Aftermarket" radiator for 912 pusher needed
Go to your local autospares dealer and see what will satisfy your need, v/w golf opel etc
Re: "Aftermarket" radiator for 912 pusher needed
the 912 radiator is very small, because it only needs to cool the heads.
you can have someone make one up for you. I had mine made by Silverton Radiators, ended up being a tenth of the price. I attach the size and specification

Hi Morph! Welcome back!!!







Re: "Aftermarket" radiator for 912 pusher needed
Thanks for the help guys. I have the Rotax radiator as suggested by Morph, but I'm thinking it might not provide sufficient cooling in a pusher, especially since it isn't installed in outside air. I'm going for a VW radiator now with a core size of 380x320mm.
