    30 mm means it's made in Austria and imported. That is 1 1/8 in American. A standard 1" heater hose will be snug. Respectfully, Dennis Baber Cape Coral, Fl baberdk@gmail.com 305-814-7218 Stay Curious

    Thanks, I looked at some bike radiators last night, and had never seen curved radiators before. In the mean time, I've all but confirmed that this radiator is very similar to the $500 Rotax unit, with 25mm inlet and outlet, so I think I'll give it a try. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aircraft-Drone-Rotax-912-914-Viking-Suzuki-Aeromomentum-ALUMINUM-RADIATOR/273379324254?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Thanks. I think I'm all set. Rusty Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=490986#490986

    Are you running a 912UL or 9112ULS? 80 hp 912 requires very little cooling. I used to bypass my engine oil cooler completely in the winter in Alabama, summer in Northern Canada and Alaska. 912ULS was just the opposite. Took a lot of cooling to keep it happy. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of 13brv3 Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2019 9:51 AM Subject: Kolb-List: Re: 912 radiator?

    Interesting about the difference. Mine is an 80hp UL. I'm starting with the small oil cooler, and was trying to stick with pretty much the standard radiator size. I'm just a bit north of you in TN. Rusty Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=490992#490992

    Check out the radiator from the Honda 1100 Magna. I used it with my 582 and put it on another. Both worked perfectly. If you're putting the 912 on a Mk 3 or a Kolbra it's one to look at. Rick.
