which metal???

Or an even cheaper solution is bend out a paper clip and shove it between a green and black wire

could be an option if i can send it to the cable side by about 5 mm i think it then may be fine.
rad thickness overall is about 84mm but where the fin section is there are metal sides which bend over to mount it and i'd say there about 5 mm, so just to give it that little extra i could bend those a little(there is no water in that part)

i'm sure when i can spend some time with it, i'll get it sorted big hammer!!!

I would take a Dremel to it and remove a tiny bit of the rad. No harm in that area - just bd careful.

Thats what i thought, that part of the rad is only a shroud, important bits are the ends and fins, no??
