thanks justin
ok heres a simple way of doing it:
-get the 2 original mounts- these have the right ruber insert and everything so its not worth making something.
-secure it- welded it however no need to do something as loopy as that, heres another option I recommend:
hold your radiator mount in place, line up where the bolts would normally line up with the top support and mark it, drill some 6mm holes, push a bolt though the bracket, put some nuts on it as a spacer and then bolt it down to the radiator support. Again its hard to explain

ok that sounds easy enough, sounds like ill have to go to a hyundai wreckers... hmm some quiet justice lol
might have to cover my eyes if i see one thats not completeley destroyed lol
anyone have an idea what year model car my radiattor is out of?
Cheers
I'm fairly certain they come from 1991 Hyundai X2 Excels.
Just look around for a radiator like yours
Beaut, yea ill just have a look around and see what it looks like
my mate has the same setup his using what looks like standard ae86
radiator mounts but it has and extra washer on each side to bring it up
since the radiator sits abit higher
Well i got this all sorted today, couldnt be happier with the result. Couldnt find any excels around whatsoever so i managed to find some brackets of a sonata that were very similar. It was good to find a wrecker that didnt want me to purchase the whole radiator just for the brackets, the bloke that helped me out was pretty cool. Most are just arseholes.
Anyway i had to get the brackets extended out so my mate Dan who owns Pro Force Engineering here on the gold coast (free plug lol) whipped up some alloy plates that extended out and gave me all proper bolts and nuts to bolt the things to the support panel.
Heres how it came out:
So yeah pretty stoked with how that turned out, for a differnt to factory radiator id say that looks pretty good.
Cheers for all your information everyone
Well done. Come up very clean. I'll drop round and have a look at your progress with the 86 sometime this weekend (hopefully in mine)
yeah looks real neat, nice work
