Universal Radiators
Universal radiators are built to fit a wide range of race car and custom chassis rather than one specific factory vehicle, so sizing and port layout matter more than make or model. The range here covers aluminium and standard cores from AFCO and Northern Radiator, in widths from around 19 inches up to 31 inches, and both single pass and double pass designs.
Core thickness, tank width and inlet position vary between models, so check the overall height, width and depth against the space and mounting points you have before ordering. Double pass radiators are generally used where more cooling capacity is needed in a limited frontal area, while single pass units suit simpler plumbing layouts.
- Standard universal fit radiators (AFCO 80100 to 80116 series)
- Aluminium circle track radiators
- Race Pro all-aluminium radiators for GM, Ford and Mopar applications
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between single pass and double pass radiators?
Single pass radiators move coolant through the core once in one direction, which keeps plumbing simple. Double pass radiators route coolant through the core twice, which can help with cooling capacity where there isn't room to fit a larger single pass unit.
How do I know which size radiator will fit?
Measure the width, height and depth of the space available and compare it to the dimensions listed for each radiator, since universal radiators are sized by their physical measurements rather than by vehicle model.
Are these radiators aluminium or standard material?
Both are available in this range. Northern Radiator's Race Pro and Scirocco models are all-aluminium, while some AFCO models are listed as standard, so check the individual product for material.
