Hi list & especially Ron,
Read the earlier post about swapping inlet/outlets on x-flow rads and started 
to think about some x-flow options.
1.  Is it possible to swap the bottom radiator inlet/outlet from the left 
hand side to the right hand side and save some weight by getting rid of the 
steel pipe?  Or does this design cause poor water flow/cooling in the unit?
2.   If the top inlet/outlet is swapped to the opposite site and the bottom 
inlet/outlet swapped to the opposite side am I correct in thinking the 
advantages of option 1 is gained (ie loss of steel pipe) but coolant flow in 
rad is still same (albeit other way round to standard) and therefore no less 
efficient?  I note that a mini t'stat housing and non standard hoses would be 
required along with of course a hybrid rad.
Ay comment?
