Yeah, you can use the n13 rad with an l-series. Just have to plumb some
hoses to the opposite sides. For the bottom I used a combination of the
original L-series hose and a long (bottom I think) hose from a S12 gazelle.
The top was a chop of some old hoses I had lying around. Not to tricky,
just have a look at your local spare parts shop for hose lengths etc.
