Anybody with a buggy with a radiator mounted close to the rear seats does it ever get uncomfortable from the heat. I'm reworking a buggy and would like to do a rear mounted radiator so I can fit a bigger radiator but it would be right behind the third seat. I'm just curious if it will be uncomfortable for the rear passenger

No you'll be fine just make sure you ain't pushing air back up in cab. Unless it's winter time then it's pretty nice
 
I just had my rear radiator mounts moved within 4" of my seat and like Nathan said, a good fan with a shroud will pull the hot air back as long as you have rear clearance to release the air. If not, you might get some reflected back into the cab area.
 
Buddy of mine had a small issue with his, the shroud didn't cover the entire radiator, heat did what Chaseman9 said. It just reflected off the fuel cell and back to the cab, hot as S#$T! Built a shroud now its cool as a cucumber.
