Hi all,
After issues with my car overheating I found that I have a coolant leak which seems to be coming from the radiator, so I will be fitting a new one, and while I am doing it I want to fit a full kit of silicone coolant pipes.
First thing - rad. A lot of people talk about the nissens ones. Is that good enough for track use or is it worth paying the extra for a direnza?

Next, I also need to source all of the bracketry required to fit the rad, as for some reason mine are all missing, and the rad is currently held on with jubilee clips 🙈
Then as for the silicone hoses, this Forge kit looks good:

There is a cheaper version but Ive never heard of the manufacturer...

I dont fancy paying £300 for SAMCO.
Also when it comes to fitting, I presume you need to fill up the rad with coolant? And then do the normal bleed process?
