Jonny Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Whats the best way to attach mounts to a radiator, tryed tacking it with the mig on a shit radiator and on the lowest setting just went straight through.

Jonny Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Nar its cortina, the mounts on the 1600 were longer to bring the radiator towards the fan, but with the 2L in i need to use mounts that will sit it as far forward as i can. I've got the mounts off the shitty 2L rad and puttin them on the 1600 one, which are the same except the outlets i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 No need for that. Does your rad not have the two layers of mounts? If so then just move the rad and use the rear mounts for the front ones. Easy as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Nope just the l bracket type mounts on the 2L and the 1600 rad has the same but extended like a reverse shroud if you get what i mean, no adjustment orother mounting spots. Plus there soldered on so to move the rad i'd still have to bring it in to a rad shop so might as well use the mounts that will fit sweet.
