Anyone know of a decent top fill rad for my 20v conversion?

Have a google search around as I've heard of being able to use certain BMW radiators. I've also seen where people take a 1.3 top fill radiator, split the "top fill" part of it off and mount it onto a larger radiator like a 16v one, etc.

I believe only the E30 BMW rad fits, E36 is different.

 :undecided: you might be right as it had a forward hinged bonnet, e36 is top fill but all plastic construction.
