The Ulster would have had an A type core.
The most important job when changing a radiator core is to get the header tanks meticulously clean. A patch can be placed over the old filler, but you don’t have the best starting point. The better header tank to start with is probably the ruby as the filler neck is sat on the top of the filler so is easily covered with a flat brass plate. The bottom tank also needs to be modified as it has captive bolts for fixing.

Thanks Peter.
The bottom tank wouldn't be a problem as I can use the spare I have, which has no captive bolts.
I do have a Ruby rad, but I'm not sure about easier - yes the hole is easier to patch, but it doesn't have the big recess which accommodates the bonnet brace. There's still the question of a new filler neck as the Ruby one is different. Does anyone supply a suitable item?
