MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Rad Hose Dimensions

Hi Guys

Can anyone remember what size ID (Internal Diameter) an early vertical flow radiator top hose is on a 948.

Thanks
Ed H

Also if anyone is near a vertical flow 948 frog rad what are the dimensions of the core please.

Thanks

is the 948 different from the later vertical flow ones? I've a 1098/early 1275 one here....

Moss list 2 vertical flow radiators - with and without shrouds.

MMOC list 1 vertical flow radiator - diagram seems to show shroud.

I think the only difference is the shroud but I could be wrong. Mine has a shroud but if I remember I made the shroud and added it when I restored the car. Unfortunately not near the car for a month or so, hence cannot measure it.

the hose spigots are 1" o/d.
The core is 12" high and 15" wide, excluding top and bottom tanks of course.
