Mark, the 2500 does not have the tire in the nose. I checked with a buddy
who knows TVR's like nobody else and he tells me the rad will not fit.
Apparently the 2500M rad is very small and very deep, because of the spare
tire. He also tells me it is horribly inefficient and should be avoided.
His suggestion is to take the tire and bracket out of there and put in a
real rad (just carry a puncture aerosol) . He says to use a rad out of a
chevy or a volvo, something 19" high. The width can be whatever you want to
go with. A lot cheaper, a lot lighter, and a lot cooler.
