Been Making a Radiator mounting plate
As per the title really, all comments welcome. I will be installing a cooling fan on the front blowing through. Just got to organise the coolant pipes
now.
This is from the back and above.
 
Rad mounting plate from back/top
This is from back and below.

And this is mounted on the car.

And yes that is the utility room sink in the background of the first 2 photos. And yes the first on is a little fuzzie.
Enjoy.

Clive, I read somewhere that you should try to use some rubber washers in there somewhere to insulate the rad from vibration - they don't like
it apparently...
Mind you, I never used any....but thought I should pass on the info

Yep already thought of that. The Alloy sheet is fairly thin and flexible but the bulk of the radiator weight is/will be taken on the bottom rail and
the radiator its self is mounted by its lower mounting pins onto this bottom rail through rubber grommets. IF the whole assembly (alloy sheet) proves
too thin then I can use it as a template on heavier gauge if necessary.
Thanks for the thought anyway Richard.

Thanks lads. After seeing Ricky's Rad I'm going to sulk now. So its off to do a bit of shopping then when I get back I'm going to
try and make an impressive battery tray to sit down in the bottom of the nearside engine bay between the engine mounting and the front bulk head.
Oh and I'm trying to move wheres Luego down the listings.
