unfortunately even my core is too wide, it's 23.5 inches wide, mad's core is 20 inches wide.
they listed mine core width as the exterior width and they listed my core as 21 inches, but that's not correct.
so basically I'll have to resell mine and start from scratch, which is really really not what I wanted to do here, My goal was quick cheap and easy. I got none of the above.
mine will still be 2.5 inches thick, it will be narrow enough to fit down lower in the frame yet still taller versus wider and shorter so it fits in the same width as the factory but can stand straight up, and it will have plenty of room in front and behind it for the air to move around and I can attach the factory fan to it so it will push the air through.
what can you do, this is custom, I was trying to cheat and go easy but it's just not going to work, the cost will be similar to the kart radiator but 3.5 times thicker and 3 inches wider and have a fan, but won't have as much direct wind.
does cubic volume matter? I did a quick comparison
shifter kart rad is 60 inches cubed (from memory I could be off a little)
madmaxes is 210 cubic inches
the one I bought and can't use is 404 cubic inches
the one I'm making is 200 cubic inches.
