Would this suit a Grasshoper Replica?

Well, it's the right shape ... but it will be far too big.

This looks to be an Austin 10 Ripley rad.
Edit: I see in the actual listing (I looked just looked at the photo posted initially) it is identified as and Austin 12 Newbury rad. - see Mike's reply!

Its not quite the right shape, despite initially looking good. The top is too curved, the bottom completely wrong, the filler hole in the wrong place, and as Mike says it will be too big. A shame, as I got quite excited when I first saw it!

Thanks Bill for the kind offer.
I’m busy building an all aluminium bodied Gordon England Cup just now but when I saw this unusual shell , I thought it Might be useful to someone. If it’s brass it could be easily modified? Regards Bill G
