Overview

Bolt-in B210 radiator or B310 , just a bit bigger makes a lot of difference in cooling
B210 a/c radiator, bigger yet. Just need some simple brackets

The 1200 core support can handle radiator up to approximately 445x695 mm

The 1200 bolt spacing is:
* 250 mm (9.84 inch) vertical - same as B210
* 370 mm (14.57 inch) horizontal

B210 & B310 Radiator

All B210 and B310 radiators are same height as 1200 radiators. Plus they come with shrouds as standard equipment.
