yeah they look like the adrad blank tanks i was talking about, you will have to put all the holes you need into them for the fittings and filler neck.

Yep. No cap or hose holes in the tanks. But hey I don't have much choice in the matter. It seems to appear like an original tank I think The rad shop will take care of all of that. Just the side straps are the BIG DRAMA....

Hey mate just a silly question but,
Does the H series holdens bands sit the radiator out off the top radiator support, where as the Torana bands sits it nearly flush?
Just want to clarify incase I come across something Brad

Yep that's pretty much it Mark. The 2 core Torana V8 radiaor seems to sit just a fraction off the upper rad panel. Where as the H series sits a mile off!!!!! Thanks mate!!!

So, neither of these will work??
Just two random rads i have laying around, was gonna say if the bands off one of them was suitable for Brad i woould happilly sweat them off and post them to him.
Im actually not sure what either is out of, there not LC/LJ, my LH has a stock radiator, but i sold it ages ago so cant compare lol. Found them recently during my epic clean up im having atm.
Cheers.

Thank you for putting the effort in to post these up mate.
But from I understand the upper hose outlet should be on the drivers side and the rad cap on the passenger side.
Perhaps they are 6cyl LH LX Torana??
I'm not sure why those straps couldn't be used however?

Im well aware there both 6 cyl rads, im not up to speed with totally original type stuff but i know the difference between six and 8.
The tanks, hose outlets etc are irrelevant, im talking about the straps, if there suitable for you i will sweat them off and post them to you, thus ending your search and allowing you to put a rad together with the parts you have......
Waiting for someone to confirm/deny if either of those rads have the correct straps so i can start pulling them off the rads for you.

Thank you very much mate. Let's just wait for someone with some more knowledge to input some info!!!
They look reasonably flat which would mount the rad close to the rad support panel as it should!!

Thats what i was thinking.
Theres two different types as you can kinda see in the picks, should get some better ones in the light, was to lazy to flick the switch last night.
PM me your number if you want to do some overr the phone tape measure comparisons wit tank widths etc on your new tanks to see if they may be somwehre near suitable.

OMG, you still mucking around with this? I have an original SL/R 5000 manual one in the shed, but Yella is currently running a Natrad 3 core. You can get them LH/LX size, but the have the HQ side band. Having said that, it was no biggy to modify it for the LH. I think I put a post up somewhere here, but then again maybe I didn't.
You need to drill a new set of upper holes, and trim a bit of the rear bit of the bracket only. All worked out quite well, cept for the fog lights. Still not happy with them, will make a steel bar for them to sit on.
If your still at a loose end, I can have a look-see to see to remember how and what I did.

Perhaps they are 6cyl LH LX Torana??
The radiators bomber posted look like 350 chev variety, hence the outlets on the opposite side, like 6cyl holden.

Well...... Yeah.... I am. Mainly due to not having a picture or reference of a 100% correct V8 2 core radiator. So I'm guessing.
I don't want a H series radiator at all as it sits the top tank to far away from the upper radiator support panel and leaves a big gap. No amount of trimming side bands will fix that.
Those radiators of bombers look to have an almost flat and flush mounting on the band which may in fact keep it close to the support panel. So perhaps they would work.
But without pictures of what it really should look like... I'm guessing.

They look like the set i have, they are six cyl one same orientation as chev but use bigger fittings than the ones pictured. It quite possible the ones you need. You also could get that h series in a 2 row to suit v8 aswell, not sure if the bands are different again. The core height and width is the same as the 3 row "big tank" core but obviously with smaller tanks/core.

damn you no edit, any way pics.
the ones i think they are supposed to be
and the other set i have but these on the bottom may be h series 2 row v8 bands due to the bracket to hold a cowling.

I agree the bottom one in the pic looks H series like I currently have.
Can you confirm the bolt mounting holes are approx 27cm between centres?
This is my H series Rad.
Any chance you could save the day and take some pics of the rad you have mate? Would put an end to all the guess work!

Ok, after waiting for picks to upload and getting side tracked, here are a heap more picks.
There are two different rads, one is taller than the other as will become clear shortly.
Firstly, the taller one, top view
It has two original looking holes and one bastardized one, i can fix the bastardized one so you will never know if you wish
Non bastardized holes are about 315 center to center
Bottom of top tank to top of bottom tank is 367
inside of band to inside of band is 553 measured across the front
And 533 across the back
Shorter one top view
Ignore my yellow boots, im an industrial spray painter and move a lot of yellow.....
Width across the front is the same
Width across the front is 530
Bottom of top tank to top of bottom tank is 444
This one has two original looking holes and two bastardized looking holes each side. Spacing's in pick, remember were starting at 100.
Both of the lower straps have a fold in them, looks like they would be the same with either outlet pipe config?
Some picks showing the difference in the height of the straps, thanks to my HB for modeling them for me hehe.
SO, can anyone confirm or deny if the bands off either of these rads are correct for Brad??
Cheers.

Whoah!!! Nice going there mate!!! Hope it didn't chew up all you upload data!!!
Looking at the mounting holes on the front of my car, seems there is two sets of holes? Perhaps the inner pair are for a 6cyl radiator? What I think is the correct pair of holes, are approx 27cm centre to centre. Dosnt quite look like it in this pic because of the angle of the dangle....!!
Did any of you bands have mountig holes 27cm centre to centre?
Width wise, the holes I think are correct are 68cm apart centre to centre, whereas that other set which i think maybe for a six, appear to be 58cm apart centre to centre.

Epic fail, all the holes are about 600 apart width wise and nothing lining up close to 270.
