Pic request!!!

I'm going to move the radiator to make room for a T3, and therefore removing the lock for the hood and going for racing "clips" to hold the hood.

Do anyone have pics of this mod.?

Cheers!!

This any help...



I had a standard rad in before I got this rad fitted, had to pull the bottom side out next to the intercooler to stop the actuator hitting it.

I took the upright bar off the bonnet latch, but am putting that back on now I have replaced the standard frst with an uprated slimline one

I was thinking mere of pic of the mounting of the orginal rad and the pins for the hood?

I was also thinking of getting a slimline rad but when i can use the old for free the i will go with that.
But thanks for the pic, cool one

I was just wondering where i can buy slimline rad.

And don't the rad get alot of heat from the turbo, or don't that matter?

only pic on my comp at the mo, u don`t need to loose the bonnet catch, just mod it, make new lower rad mounts and weld them in, main problem is enough clearance so when the engine twists under the torque the turbo don`t hit the rad, heat aint a prob, suggest u use uprated gearbox mounts aswell..

most i`ve managed is just over an inch clearance, and keeping the standard catch, this is plenty of room

just move the rad forward a few mil, as per the guide on here, just need to cut your bumper a little bit

put a t3 in mine moved the rad foward a little cut the bumper a smidge just need the mesh to finish ,can post a pic when it stops raining

I didn't have to move my rad.......just made the alternator bracket smaller!!!

i used cable ties to hold my rad in and have 1 1/2 inches of clearance

I've made the following mod..

Moved the underside of the rad forward about 1 1/2 inch..

The rad is just free of the bonet catch (1/3 inch, just enough so it won't hit)

Modded the bonnet catch support.. so it's 1 1/2 inch more forward (bit bending.. and using a spacer made by a piece of copper pipe..

I drilled the bonnet catch support. . and drilled the bottom part (flange) of the rad.. put a bolt thru and thru.. and fixed it using some rubber rad-fixing point rings.. works great .. and still having a bonnet catch support
