    LOL - can't imagine they are too common that people have an opinion? You may find a HD one suitable for the V6 available but if that doesn't tick the boxes than custom is the only answer.
    I saw a place recommended in regard to Zetec's in Escorts but don't recall the name - was good quality, UK made and relatively cheap - maybe someone else will know?

    Mishimoto give decent photos and dimensions on their site, although sometimes you need to dig a little to find them.

    If you can find something off the shelf, it does make life easier, especially if you need a replacement.

    I'm using some Mishimoto BMW rad on my Granada at the minute. BMW Z3 X-Line Performance MMRAD-CON-99X

    If I was n/a I could and would have chosen something a lot wider. My previous rad was a custom one, but on a price and convenience point, this was close enough and just needed a little adaption to fit.

    Other option is to find one you think fits, then buy a used OEM unit.
