Radiator Recommendation

Hey guys, need a radiator to go with my mk2 + zetec combination. Anyone with a zetec have any recommendations. Would like to buy in Aust if I can but haven't found one as of yet.

Cheers.

    The UK guys often use VW golf radiators if you're on a budget, but I'm not sure which model they use apparently they fit. I'm sure someone here will know which

    I bought a new Ally 3 core Gemini rad for my conversion. ...a small bit of trimming is needed to fit but looks the dogs danglies in there !! Price is about $150 , it will need one outlet moving to the other side .

    thanks for the replies everyone. like the look of marty's solution but unfortunately car is full painted and i left the original radiator brackets. Hindsight is happily telling me i should have thought/organised this earlier but too late for that. need a radiator to connect to a zetec and while fitting inside the original space. So to do it properly its either get a custom made radiator or at the least one that will need modification or import one in from the UK.
    Thanks RSman for the VW idea. I will look into it but am thinking I wont be happy with how it looks even if it is the best budget option...
     
    Fun times :)

    Ebay sells alloy rads for escort for around $200 now, as usual when Zetecing, the bottom outlet will need moving to the moving to the other side... A good welder can do this for a 6pk of beer!
    If you go the VW golf rad I think they are smaller than escort ones and are cross flowing... I've got A Golf one for my anglia, but will change it for maybe a early alloy Corolla one, when the time comes.... Unless the car sells before then.

    Oops! Just replying to my own post. .i did buy a Escort alloy radiator for my other van(i have a few vans), i bought it cause the cost of fixing an old radiator was double than this one.. It was only $155 delivered.. and comes with fan mounts!
