This may be old news to some, but others may be interested in the differences and similarities between the three types.
I recently won a rare 2XT radiator in seemingly good condition for the princely sum of 268 Yen (although it cost a bit more than that by the time I took delivery :( ). On inspection, I was surprised at the similarities between it and the 3XC radiator (which is a lot less rare). The only real differences between the 2XT and 3XC radiators appear to be the angles of the inlet, outlet and overflow - even these differences are slight.
For those interested, I took a few photos:

Thanks James. I didn't know that.
Same here ;)
Just to tack on some related discussion on this matter. When you guy an AL radiator from ebay that are listed for the 1KT do they share the same design down to the inlet angles?
The Al TZR250 radiator I got of eBay just bolted on.
The 40mm RZ350 radiator required a little bit of work and is currently being modified to fit a filler neck.

Fitted up the ASI 40mm radiator today. Not bad for $160 delivered.

It is a 350 YPVS radiator direct from the factory in China.
The top mount needs moving and I also decided to give the top hose a bit of extra clearance.
You use the remote filler from the 350 YPVS.
I still need to weld the top mount bracket.

I am back to setting up the 2XT F3 race bike.
The 40mm YPVS radiator from China is now selling in Aus for $AU89 delivered. Bargain!
Mine is back from having a filler spout added and the T removed.
