Kadett/Manta radiator in GT?

[standups]

will a kedette or manta radiator work in a gt??

A Kadett one will work but it may be very difficult to get the filler cap off and add fluid.

Manta and Ascona don't fit. If you are looking for more cooling instead of just a replacement, you should look into some of the aluminum core makers:

aluminum radiator core - Google Search

You might find something stock but they can build anything you want.

Manta radiator is about a 1/3 or so wider than a GTs.

Check out this option though.

AFAIK the radiators are identical with one exception, the filler neck. The Kadett is located on top of the tank and the GT filler neck is located behind the tank. I carried a tank in to to have it cleaned and tested years ago and was told it was bad. When I went to pick it up the old guy said let me look around and he spotted a radiator that looked identical. I then pointed out the filler neck difference. He said no problem your top tank is good, I'll just switch them out.
