I always thought the Torana units were shorter by about an inch- to clear the lower bonnet
I would go HQ/HX.

G/day Russell, n sammy.
I originally thought HQ-HZ,
But the side mounting plates are too wide.
HK-HG seem more like it.
Im not sure about torana.

I think they were HT, as the HQ have the wide sides

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

yeah I also have no idea if the Torana one is smaller, I just know that's what I used in my EK  and also it looked very similar to the one I pulled from the Bedford!

I have trimmed down side brackets of HQ and re-drilled holes before, and it worked.

       I bought the HQ to HZ radiator with the long side bands from an epay store in Melbourne called Auto coooling and electricals .

      I would have bought the HD HR to HG with the short side bands , but the HQ to HZ ones were on special at the time .

      Both cores measured the same 370mm x 530mm
 
      To save myself any cutting , l took my old radiator to the local radiator guy and got him to change the bands over , took him 5 minutes to do .

      If your any good with heat and solder you could do it yourself   .

      Cheers Frank
