Anyone have a Ash spec rad? I have had one for ages and finally getting round to fitting it but don't know what brackets go where. Pictures of the brackets that come with it shown below. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks,

yeah thanks for that with the bracket id we had actually worked that much out lol !!!! its more a question of what do they go to as they dont align to anything?????

As far as i know the bottom bracket is only meant for N/A's fitting this rad as the bottom fixing points are different, once the bracket is fitted, it should then give the same fixing points as a TT.

 

So in short if the car is a TT the Rad should fit without the bottom bracket. as far as i know lol

It was a long time since I took the old rad out, so my memory is vague. From what you can see in the pic of the engine bay, do I need to add lower original brackets if there were any or does the rad just sit in to the bay as the bay is now? sorry if this sounds confusing. One other thing there is nothing on the bottom of the rad to make me think that this should just fit without any lower bracket?

 

Thanks,

Ant, pictures of the RAD might help - I though Smithy had nailed the answer as above!

I think we are assuming your rad has two lugs on the base that fit in the OEM rubber grommeted holes (where you have one missing). Is that not the case?

Me thinks your going to either have to get the right base bracket/plate for a TT or get your angel grinder/welding gear out and MOD the one you have!

Cheers Andy. Spoke to Ash via email and he has supplied me the wrong lower bracket, but when I purchased the radiator he seems to recall that I stated that I have a non-turbo chassis. Hmm I don't think so! He said that he has to fabricate a new one for me as he no longer produces the radiators with the separate lower bracket as the lower mount points for the TT radiator are built into the endtanks with the ones he supplys now. So I think we will modify the current bar and weld onto the end tanks.

Thanks for all the help though.

 

Cheers,
