TurboTobz Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Im looking at buying a civic rad fitting kit but I know they're pretty easy to fit without the kit...I'm just wondering what others have done to fix theirs down or how much bother it was to fit the jd brackets as I haven't got access to my garage to use a grinder easily as I've a dead diesel sat on my drive... and of course you need to grind the old bracket out? I wonder if it's easy enough to use a cordless drill yo drill the tap welds out?cheers Quote
daniel_g Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Ive had two sets now and theyre awesome. One existing bracket comes off with 12mm and the other comes off with 30 seconds with a hacksaw. Quote
jezza Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 If you can't get use of a grinder, then a hack saw is your best option.If drilling out the spot welds, use a 10mm spot weld drill bit so you don't end up drilling holes in the cross member. Quote
Banbury Glanza Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hacksawed mine off in a minute, done it all on my drive way in about 15mins. Well worth having mate Quote
TurboTobz Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Hmmm I may have to buy one. Do you just hacksaw it off so it leaves the plate spot welded on but petruding half cut off at the bend Quote
Banbury Glanza Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Yea mate that's what I've done Quote
