Hi Hugo,
The 2 Litre clutch is surprisingly robust as long as it is well maintained and not abused. However, there is one golden rule which I was told many years ago by the late great Phil Ridout..."the 2 Litre clutch is either in or out, never slip the clutch" That is because the steel drive plate will quickly heat up and distort and then it will destroy the friction surfaces. I am not a fan of the modern clutch conversion, it is after all a vintage car we drive not a modern one!
As regards radiator rebuilds I used the following company a few years back, they have done many 2 Litre rads

Hope this helps
