Can't see why not. But it will be cheaper to then rather use an UNO or Golf radiator. I re-cored mine to keep it standard and side mounted.

My dad has an old bike radiator at home however the diameter of the pipe is way too thin and I think the flow of water would be slower due to that.
I also prefer the stock way so no need to cut to fit a bigger one.

I've got a uno rad in Frankenstein and I'm not happy with it.
I think it is over cooling the car as I never get even close to 80 degrees unless I sit in traffic for about 20 min or if I'm permanently driving like a hooligan around town.
On the highway car sits just under 70.

Check to see that the thermostat hasn't been removed by previous owner Dom.

I'm thinking that's the case.
No fiddling before CITP though.
