I need something that's just going to bolt on though ... I need a fan and mounting kit too :/

[ryan lang]

you wont get a half size that will bolt on dude

make a fitting kit i used my old top rad brackets and a piece of metal with 2 holes, one bolted to the bar and the other over a lug in rad

go to a breakers and rob a rad and fan and just wire it up. easy enough, blue wire to blue wire, black wire to black wire ;)

ill take pics of mine now for you

Hes lying to you like the welsh do Matt.

it will bolt on using a civic top rad bracket, the standard lower bracket. then your only dilema is a fan

which you can use your aircon fan if you have that kicking about

Don't have that fan :/ got rid of the whole unit a while back

I may have an old NA rad avaliable on wednesday

[ryan lang]

all i did with the bottom mounts (standard top brackets) was cut the rubber out and drill a hole the same size as the lugs on the bottom of the rad, then drill smaller holes in the lip to bolt them to the car.

you've also got to remove the standard bottom mount other wise the rad will sit to high trisk. the civic rads are taller than the standard rad and will sit off to one side of the civic rad leaving it unstable and on a wonk

also you cant see the bottom bracket on the other side, but its the same height, and same thing other side on the bottom of the rad

Cable ties

[Hawwy]

I have one with fans hoses and a bracket £30 to your door

[TrisK]

Not true Ryan

Standard bottom mount, and oem civic top bracket

Leaves it sitting like this:

Not massively high, or wonky imo

[ryan lang]

not too bad.

id still prefer 2 bottom brackets instead of resting across one

[akyakapotter]

I have no brackets at all cable ties
