Default 4x4 i/c into 2wd saph??

Does this work?
Im sure it does but my birds dad is having some problems.

I thought it would be a straight forard swap but turns out it isnt.
Is there a correct procedure to install the 4x4 cooler?

cheers

I would have thought it would be a simple swap of the cooler itself, but might need to use 4x4 hoses ?

u have to fold down the lugs on the top of the 2w/d rad and cut the boost pipe thats on the drivers side JOB done also DOES help if you undo the bolts that hold the rad in place so that it can swivvel a bit!
