    Default Custom Rad Support + Lights

    So my rad support has seen better days and thinking of scrapping it and making a custom. Some thing like this one

    If anyone has any info or guides / Exp in doing it would be great. Its going to hold lights, rad, cooler, bonnet pins and will be removable to make it easy to get engine out. Just looking to speak to a few people that have done it to get good ideas

    As bove would be pretty easy, depends how nuts you want to go, I personally would unpick all of the radiator support and it's skirting to just leave the rails and the side's of the bay showing, clean up all of the edges, then make tabs at the top on either side for the new support bar to bolt to, then make the bar out of whatever you desire, the mounts wouldn't be too hard, the headlights half mount off of the guards anyway
