The cowling measures approx 585 across. Holes approx 550mm . It has a header tank so not top filled.
Does anyone know what model of golf I should be looking for a radiator please

The kind with the cap on the side,
The Capless ones on the early rabbit/golf/cabriolets that bolted down at the bottom and had the c clip at the top
The later Capless ones that were in the Cabriolet that had pin mounts at the bottom and the top was bolted via clamps.
In the early years of Golf ownership, I had an issue with my radiator as it was the bolted at the sides, and with the clips movement at the top it split the tanks loose at the sides… I then discovered that alas they had a non-a/c radiator in my car…..
I bought a Brass, and copper one for less than the dealer, it was for a/c diesels, and it never gave me a issue.
Now with that said there were 2 types of radiators for each car, a/c and non-a/c.
They make a totally Aluminum Radiator now for about the cost of the plastic/.aluminum ones.
If you go to EBAY, or over hear Radiator Doctor, or Radiator Express, they usually list the mount type, and the thickness of the core as well as the length on them.
I would think you should be able to find the Capped one
to fit.
