[Vwdiesel] Quantum questions?

[mark shepherd]

Now I'm looking closer, I need a different radiator as this advertised one 
as well as several suppliers around the world is only suitable for pre 84 
Quantums :o( They are upsidedown and also fitted cheap and nasty Golfs 
;o)...
All my Quantums are now 85 to 88... I can see the day that I venture into 
radiator making... Brass will do nicely...
