For all you guys that fitted an aftermarket rad,what have you done about the rad brackets?

 

Mine came today :bow:

nice does it still use the original brackets to screw it down??

No mate that is the new bracket.

Just make sure you fit it with some nice rusty rounded off bolts! ;) :p

No Duffer wont be fitting it :rofl: ;)

You dont need this bracket as your stock ones fit fine(FACT) If you take a look in my rides pics,referance engine bay.You can see I used my stock brackets for my new Howe Racing Rad,no problemo. :dance: :dance: :dance:

True but this bracket looks the nuts.

 

I have the same one for my Howe but without the Holes.

I imagine the holes are there to let a bit more heat out but not sure if it would make enough difference to really effect performance.

needs to be shiny stainless or chrome tbh, maybe it is but in the pic it looks black

It is polished SS

Did you take the photo in a black room then?

bling factor...

Dave!. Turn your brightness up ;)

Very clever. :tongue:

 

The bracket still looks black to me. Shiny black, I'll grant you, but black nonetheless. :)

Dave you are turning into that bloke from the Fast Show :D

Give me a clue. Which one?

:) I've never seen that character before, so I obviously didn't watch it enough.

Done these brackets some time ago, infact Mac was gonna test fit my Howe one to make sure it fitted the Koyo. Mine was fitted at santapod ( the non holed version) So if anyone fancies some and possibly lasered top with ?? am open to suggestions on that one, just let me know.

I had my rad custom made so the originals fit. Then again I was thinking of practicality and performance not BLING!!! :slap: Though I'll be honest and say the engine bay is starting to look quite beautiful. I may even put a piolish Plenum on and then it would BLING!!!

 

 

Can you get a perspex bonnett :mac1: :cool: :cool: :rofl:

I fitted one of these for cybernet, looks very nice on :)

Take it we get these from Smithy then?

 

Any prices yet, no doubt Mac

Well i sold me 1st batch to the US/Aus mate, though can soon get some more made up £56 inclusive of new bonnet stay clip and stainless bolts/washers to fit. However i did want to do something more for the UK ones like maybe having Nissan Motorsport lasered ontop in same finish as my TB strips and fuse box covers, but am open to suggestions ? plain or lasered.

cheers
