    Default Levin Flip Grille

    Hey ive been offered a flip grille for pretty cheap and was just wondering what the purpose of these are?
    Are they hard to wire up/ fit piping to?
    What are some other pro/cons

    Cheers,
    Tom

    Aside from being rad, there hooked up to a thermal switch so they open up to let more air in when the engine gets hot. You can also connect them to the ignition so it's always open when the car is running.

    Anyone else?

    There is no wiring, its just a thermostat which T's into the bottom radiator hose. There are a number of bits you need to make it work properly, but most of the time when people sell them they are missing the thermostat (or non working/leaking), the hoses, the solid piping with bleeder valve, and the T piece.

    I have done it and got it working, using all of the proper stuff needed (which pretty much all solid pipes and thermostats cannot be obtained new).

    There was one on ebay the other day, it had all the piping etc to go with it....... or so the seller claimed (I don't know what I am looking at to be able to confirm)

    Was cheap too if memory serves.
