Looking to replace some rads, current size between pipe centres are , 500mm, 630mm,1120mm and 1480mm.
Could you suggest best metric replacement sizes , either straight swop or size down to minimise pipe alterations. Thanks

Just download a price guide and all sizes will Be there
 
While going through the guide, make sure you check the distance from the pipe centres (flow and return) to the wall for each orientation of bracket. If they are not the same as existing radiators (for example if you swap a single for a double) you may have to alter the pipework even if the radiator is the same width as that which it is replacing.

Add approx 80mm (40mm a side) to the size of a metric rad, for the tails and valve, to give approx pipe centres.
