    Default radiator differences 2 transmission lines or 4 transmission lines...

    i just bought a new radiator for my supercharged vt got all the way home and pulled almost the whole old radiator to find out i have 4 points where the transmission lines connect to the radiator instead of the 2 that are on the new one they sold me, does anyone know what the difference is and why mine has 4?
    I think it has 4 because of the oil cooler but i would like to make sure... Or if anyone knows how to connect it up different so i just use to 2 points instead of the 4? Just saves me waiting till i get a chance 2moro to go all the way back to the shop to change it over

    hey dark the answer to your question is that some radiators run dual oil coolers and some run single oil coolers,i have a supercharged vt and myn has four dual oil coolers if you wana play around with it you can get it to work but if you dont and wana run a dual can you take it back and swap it as i would for a super charged vt to help keep the oil cooler ,the single come out on earlier vt's .

    hope all goes well bhopper

    Default Connectors

    I have a WH Statesman V8 and just bought a Radiator off ebay for $190 delivered.
    The original Radiator had 2 connectors and the new radiator had 4 connectors.
    I just connected to the 2 connectors and its fine so the other side must be a separate cooler
    Dont know if this assists at all
