The one mounted on the LEFT side of the kart, rather more out of the way. But they will not allow that because they would not sell so many. It works well on the left and the additional water is a bonus in Summer.From my memory of school days, a black radiator is a good radiator, therefore a good absorber. Silver paints are a special case. These pigments contain metal particles which have peculiar optical properties. They usually are poor absorbers or emitters of radiation, either optical or heat. So do not use silver paint on a radiator.
