There must be there a way of balancing/ equalizing the pressures and flow through
parallel radiators with the use of regulators or some such auto or pre-set resistors or balance tubes etc.

Unless there is a built in flow path problem, the loss of heat raises the viscosity of the fluid and slows its flow rate, then the resistance goes up and the other cooler flows better for a while, and the outcome is reversed. No other equipment is required.

Lynn,
Is this the case with different length hosing and/or different sized oil coolers/rads.
I'm trying to visualise all sorts of installations where a pair of rads/ oil coolers are required and limited space limits size and/or placement positions.
