The Vitesse should have the thinnest spacer. I have found some Vitesse fitted with the thicker types, that then will restrict the clearance. You need shorter bolt with the thinner spacer. I did an article about this a number of years ago, maybe I need to rerun it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Dave, do you have a dimension for the smallest spacer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 No, I took the picture about 10 years ago. The Mk2 had the smaller spacer. At a guess between 3/4" and 1" The Mk1/1600 the middle one. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahebron Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Today I found the easiest way to remove the radiator is too unscrew the drain tap housing then you only have to deal with the bottom hose fitting. Why didn't I think of this before🤔 Radiator is in at a repair shop getting a check over and the crack repaired, probably get it back next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
