Brackets for Koyo rad in my ae86

[Mirko]

Not sure if its normal but if l place the rad in where the old one was its on a angle. Do people just make brackets for the bottom to line it all up? And does anyone sell them or have pics of them

[drift kid]

Do you mean when you place the bottom mounts in the correct position the top of the radiator is leaning back quite far due to the now much thicker radiator? This happened to me also and had to cut and extend the lower rad points

[Mirko]

Yep that's my issue. Can u post pic of ur setup

[drift kid]

Well there are two ways of dealing with it;
1. cut and extend the lower mounts (or make longer new ones).
2. Cut the sheet that the rad is fouling on down each side so that it can tilt forwards.
I did the first and it worked well, then re-made the top mounts out of alloy, that wasn't 100% nessiscary but neatens it up.

You can see the top mounts I made in this pic

that is a sexy setup btw

[drift kid]

Oh thanks man ^.^

[Mirko]

The top is not so much the issue as the lower ones. did you have to extend those

[drift kid]

Yeah as I pre mentioned, the lower ones had to be extended probably 25-30mm off of the top of my head
