*BIGUP* JEK Fabrication & ForTune PVE
Meant to do this a while ago but just a thanks to James (heeman10) and FT PVE and James at JEK for sorting me out an exact(ish) replacement on the standard FRST at a very good price!
James - I had to slightly bend out the hooky thing at the top and drill a hole at the bottom right where the fan mounting screw would have been and i've tied the left side just to be secure. I also had to mount the bottom part of the IC with a 70mm x m6 bolt.
Anyway here are the pics:
Dismantled
x1 Leaking standard crappy rad, x1 Can't get more rice and shinny than this rad
Perfect fit
All in all I am very pleased with it (havn't tested it in anger yet due to this) but I would definitely go to JEK in the future for further custom fabrication!

Not a simple radiator to make at all, when all was said and done, particularly with no car there to ensure good fitment! I'm glad it's in and fits, James doesn't really use this forum but I'll alert him to this thread
Unfortunately, For-Tune PVE will be taking an indefinite break at the end of this month, for a few reasons, the largest of which are a less-than-ideal location and noise complaints. I will put a thread up in this forum tomorrow if I remember, but thank you all for your support and threads such as this

Fuckin noise police
I didn't realise you were still having problems with that buddy?!
You gotta find that Bic™ on your way out the final time & get the anti-lag / launch control popping & banging right outside her house
Ironically we managed to sort the ZT out last night! I was gonna drop you a line today but Steve mailed me to say something like this was happening so I figured there was no rush
I'll wait & read your thread before commenting more as I don't know the ins & outs but to be honest from what I know / have seen you guys were flat out pretty much from day 1. Anyhow, you'll be able to sort a 4wd rolling road now.
Good luck & fingers crossed for you guys to be back soon, bigger & better!
Back on topic James (not heeman10) is, in my opinion tres bien in his line of work & the above pics look like a prime example of this.
Cheers.

I'm sorry to hear that, do you intend to relocate or fight the complaints?

Nice looking rad, like the logo painted on. Wonder if my repacement will have that
Sorry to hear you closing the doors on PVE so soon, would have been nice to get the place completed with a waiting area upto. Good luck where ever you end up.
