lilfuzzer 1 Posted June 10, 2012 Well some will have read with my radiator post that I have had some more problems. Basically my slim line brackets do not fit my new radiator :( So got on and done some other stuff. Finished the rad support off and also fitted the water pump to the rad panel as although I wanted it on the passenger side it just didnt fit with the power steering pipes in the way. So the trial fit of the charge cooler rad will have to be flipped back to front so piping inlet the other way round. But thats not the end of the world. Also finished and wrapped the loom nice and tidy now. Fortunately Daves16v has offered to make something up for me for the rad so thats the job today make a template.

lilfuzzer 1 Posted June 10, 2012 well after much work today with other things etc I managed to make a couple of mock ups of a radiator bracket. Think may just use this one as good enough. Dont think it will last that long though and maybe the reat will be up in flames too ;) See pics very proud of myself :) Nice to meet and chat to mookie today top chap :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
