Thorin Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 What's the snake ian?? The thing that sits at the bottom of the door in the lounge?? Don't laugh at Ian's snake, I've heard it's only got one eye. Poor thing, it's not funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feakins Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks for this post mate, just fitted a standard radiator today and it worked a treat. Seemed to only take 4 litres of water then I shook the upper radiator pipe and it blew a bit of water out and seemed to clear a bubble. Time for the road test now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Rob_ Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I did mine some time back, got round a couple of problems. i made a bracket to fit the stock airbox parts back on, including the air feed / ducting to the top of the rad. a small strip of steel was used and just bent to shape with a vice and hammer. i also sealed all the gaps where the stock rad had foam stuff, with more foam stuff. i went down to my local sponge factory, explained what i needed it for and they sorted me out. about 12 quid a m.sq. and approx 50mm thick. ill pop some pics up if anyones interested.

Definitely. I still need to get some foam and seal the gaps etc. Interested in how you've mounted that bracket too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 ill get some took tomorrow then if i get chance. the bracket looks good, quite profesional if i do say so myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 ive took a few pics, sorry they're a bit fuzzy, it was dark. the bracket is litterally just a bit of 2mm thick steel i found in the garage. i bent a 45 deg bend in, then bent this down 90deg. fixed one side into the fixing for the electric fan, then fixed a nut and bolt to the other end. this gave me a threaded bar to slide the duct mounting over and fix down with another nut. easy ill spray it black with some hammerite when i get round to it..

Thorin Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Looks easy enough, I'll have to find a suitable bit of metal. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 tahnks mate this guide was spot on, if anyone has an auto all i reccomend is to bung the oil pipes up witha cpl of pens and clamp em down, work a treat. took me hour and a half and im a proper amateur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
