Civic half size radiator

Just wondering has anyone fitted a half size civic radiator on a k11? They look like they will fit I know a lot of people put them in Toyota glanzas.

won't be a straight fit and will require some modification cos:
the top only has a single middle locating peg whereas the k11 has two (new top panel),
the two bottom locating pegs are further apart than the k11 (new lower support bracket),
the lower radiator hose port is on the RH and very close to the front engine mount whereas the k11 is on the LH (new coolant hoses).

for a cost effective and easy straight fit upgrade, I'd highly recommend getting a new thicker Nissen radiator for a k11 automatic.
it's a Nissens part #629871 bout £65-70, direct fit, has a 26mm thick core compared to the standard 16mm for a manual gearbox and one on mine has easily handled the heat generated by my 160hp turbo setup on a hot trackday all day long no problem.
