I have the Dec '00 issue that has the Ro-Spit on the cover with the bonnet
off. I don't know if they changed the radiator after the photo was taken,
but the one that's in the car in the picture isn't a factory VW unit. It
appears to be brass/copper construction with metal side tanks. The
transverse engine VW's (Rabbit, Golf, etc.) are all plastic tank/aluminum
core radiators. If you need an left input/right output radiator a number of
the stock car radiators for Chevy engines use that, look at
www.afcoracing.com. The 80127N is 24"w x 18.5"h and $179. Only problems I
could see (if that would fit) are mounting and the inlet/outlet sizes
(1.5"/1.75")
Hope that helps.
