Jase Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 ok heres a few of the cooling work that cookes radiators have been doing for me, the core is early hiace van brand new with modified tanks to fit between the subframe, the cooler is fc3 7 spec with the inlet mounted on the side, the cooler will be bolted to the radiator and will drag air through 5 100mm holes in the bumper, the plate will go below the bumper in the centre it all mounts behind the grill and bumper although i will fold up a stainless valance or have an alloy one made with an adjustable splitter ct that front section is yours if you want it for the gemette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
