Michael! Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ive recently bought a civic half size rad, i went to fit it yesterday and the pipe that ya put ya coolant hose on (the one at the bottom) is at the wrong side completely, and my scremer pipe runs straight down blocking it from putting my hose on.How have people avoided this, has it been done were you can block that bit of and get it welded on, on the other side of the rad? Any help would be appreciated!Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Theres been a few of these mate. Mine misses it just however im not happy with it. Look at Mark1991 build thread and i think Lew did it also. They cut that pipe off, welded the hole up, cut a hole on the opposite side and welded the pipe on again. Mark made a pretty decent job of his!John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
