I'm not actually proposing to shove a brillo-pad in there, but that's kind of the concept, and I'm up for ideas. I am using bottom taps throughout (I could solve the problem with top/bottom but that's ugly for pipework). One supplier told me not to worry, but I can't help feeling this is likely to happen, and forums have some folks suffering this. I'd rather get it right at install stage than wait to see if it's an issue. The small bedroom rads are only ~160mm wide and 1.5M tall, straight through the bottom taps so I think this problem will be likely. I see the more expensive (Myson etc) products do say in datasheets that they have a baffle - some sort of bit of plastic, my cheaper ones have nothing at all and no instructions or guidelines with them. I can't locate details of a picture of any sort of what the baffle might be like. Smith saves all the patterns he makes in case of crash damage. He has since shared the patterns with a couple of other C5 drivers who were having similar cooling issues. This was a great idea. When I looked into it I found suitable radiators could be obtained that would fit well in the space and hopefully give out enough heat. Below you can see the radiator we chose in our desired location. Pic. 1. I Hung My Vertical Radiator So It Looked Like This Pic. 1. I Hung My Vertical Radiator So It Looked Like This. Why This Particular Location? Because the top of the radiator in a C5 Corvette is angled forward, the path the air must take isn’t straight. A skilled fabricator, Smith built an air intake for the radiator, and mounted it at the bottom of the front bumper fascia, above the splitter. The intake was as wide as the radiator, but it still wouldn’t keep the car cool, even after trying a few different radiators. By that point, Smith was on a first-name basis with the folks at C&R Radiators and Ron Davis Racing.I wasn’t happy to just hang it in a simple way, like this, but I had to bow to the builder and plumber’s years of experience. (Not experience of this type of radiator I might add.) And with that they agreed to let me hang the radiator while they got on with other work.

Insert this flow diverter into your new designer radiator to ensure a steady flow of water up and down the columns, guaranteeing an even heat that will leave your space feeling warm and cosy.

when the filler set I withdrew the straws, sanded it flush with the wallboard, and enlarged the holes in the polyester filler to the diameter of the coach screws.
