The 42mm core all alloy Cooling Pro/ASI radiators will fit with no cutting/modification.
Where are you on the coast? I'm at Ulladulla and I have a 42mm Cooling Pro fitted.

52mm will be on the big side to fit comfortably, I got my 42mm from MX5 Mania. It was $290 delivered 2 years ago.

Email the seller. He is likely to have the smaller one as well.

52mm will fit fine in a NB8A, a little tight in a NB8B.
There are 42mm radiators available on ebay, do a search for
aluminum radiator Mazda Miata MX5 98-05 42mm
There are numerous threads on the ASI Aluminum radiators on here.
Vast majority have not had any issues with them

Get a 42mm ASI. Can only think of two forumites that had the faintest of leaks from their new ASI & in both cases the supplier immediately replaced the radiator without requiring return of the other one.

Have used ASI and Cooling Pro 42mm radiators with no real issues. I would say the ASI was marginally easier to fit.
Do it once and forget about it. An ally radiator will last as long as the car.
