I've had to fit the wrong ones myself sometimes and if you fit the hoses first then push the radiator down into position before tightening the clamps they work OK.

Ah, so what you are suggesting is that the two #13 radiators I have may be in fact non-cmp truck radiators?
It was years ago that I removed the radiator from Jo's 13, but I am sure that the bottom hoses were OK for alignment in the 13, but not in my 12.
Hmmm... I'll have to check!

H, the only difference between a cab 12 and cab 13 chassis are the brake and clutch pedals and the fact it has two front cab mounts. The radiator and engine mounts are identical.

No need to check Howard, the chassis are identical, ipso facto the bottom hose alignment is identical.

You may have a carrier radiator, they turn up in CMPs sometimes. My cab 13 F60L from Ian Styles has acquired one at some stage. They have stepped down bottom outlets which result in a kinked bottom hose when fitted to CMPs, as seen in pic 1. You may not have noticed when removing it but you can't help but notice when trying to refit one!

It's possible some commercial trucks had this type of bottom outlet too, however you can identify a carrier radiator by the union in the overflow pipe, as seen in pics 2 & 3.
