Anyone fitted one?

do they mount on the rad holes?

as mine fouls everything if i try and mount it in the original holes, i.e front crossmeber, headights.

nothing is going well today

 

i can see the next post ...


its all going wrong ... nothing fits .. its all up for sale

 

you got it,

nothing seems to fit, and there all supposed to be off the shelf items

i.e there not custom one off's, which for my car is generally the case.

 

Not sounding good, as I have one my self waiting to be fitted, some brackets is usualy easy to make, or woun`t a few cm front or back do the trick?

 

you sure the rest of the bits are fitted correctly

 

Ryan i dont know if this pic will help in any way....

Broms monster cooler.

 

Theyre not called "Modified cars " for nothing chap .
I had to make a pair of drop brackets and bushes for my 80mm intercooler, gets interesting with a 65mm rad as well , thats 6" of the front of the car taken up !

 

tony, its an off the shelf iem though.

and the cooler is 70mm and the rad 55mm so not too far off yours.

paul, thats not the same as mine but cheers

 

Custom brackets and mounts needed. Get the welder out!

 

oh fucking tip top, just want i need after painting the shell

if it needs modding i wont bother with it, whole reason i bought an off the shelf item.

otherwise i would have got a custom on off made.

 

just looked on there site and it says

¨Direct fitment¨

 

You'll have to wait and ring them tomoz then mate!

 

yeah i've drop them a PM on here, obviously dont expect them to be on today, so will ring mid morning tomorrow

 

Where did you get it?

 

funnily enough pro-alloy

 

 

right upon further trials they will actually just clear or sit against the headlights, but the ducting plates still foul the crossmember, so im guessing if these were sorted the cooler should mount in the original 3dr intercooler mountings and everything would be hunky dory.

well possibly, no way to tell 100% untill the plate issue is addressed.

 

anyone else?

 

Not having much luck are you mate

Just leave it another 12months and come back to it

 

i was thinking of changing my pace cooler for a pro but everyone keeps shouting about radtec being 60mm????????????????

didint know pro did a 70mm

youve got me curious.........be sure to let us know if it fits

 

if you need any help let me know , i can at least get you a pic of how i got round these probs .

 

just looked on there site and its actually 65mm CORE.

It may fit but it wont fit with these ducting plates as they as, i know mine was one of the very 1st ones done, so it may have now been revised.

Using the radiator moutings everything fits, but then there are no moutning for the radiator, and as i said above it may push the rad/fans too far back.

 

tony i will keep you posted mate, hopefully i will speak to Pro-alloy tommorow and the problem can be resolved

 

Don't you have the bar thing that both the rad and intercooler bolt on to???

 

I know this is mike's but its the bar on the left mounting

 

no kev, thats only needed on escorts, as they only have 1 set of mounting bolts due to the original cooler being mounted above the rad.

3dr shell/500 shell has the mountings for the 500 cooler, so had 2 sets

 

Would it solve the problem though?? Bolt them together and use the rear (rad) holes??

 

no mate, as 3dr dont have that bracket like on escorts, there captive nuts in the chassis rails.

I guess it would work to a degree but then the cooler would be alot lower causing issues with hoses and god knows that else.

 

Ryan

theres 2 sets of holes the chasiss ones for the rad and the other is for the cooler have you seen that ?

marco

 

marco, i've told u once before.

PLEASE READ BEFORE TYPING!

 

Ryan this is the answer to all your problems mate it's not as if the shell is mint is it mate

 

 

 

ryan "off the shelf" means that they have the parts in stock on the self

 

First dibs on the aeroquip

 

have you got flat shaped end tanks on yours ryan or is it contored around the back on the head light ?
although mine is 120 thick and bolts onto the rad mounts as yours is thinner it shoulb bolt up to the cooler bolts or do what kat said and use escort brackets as it moved it forward 20 mm towars the engine

 

Brom, mine has the shaped end tanks to fit flush up against the headlights, unfortunately it cant get that close as the ducting plates foul by quite a bit on the front crossmember.



Heard from wayne this morning so hopefully we can sort a solution out.

 

how much is one of those beasts??

 

Is yours the same as this Ryan?? they just made this one for me









Not seen it in the flesh yet but I like the piccys

Getting it fitted next week

Gotta love the cutom little touches added Top Work From Big Gay Wayne and little Gay Al

 

yes mines the same but looking by it my ducting plates come much further up the cooler, and seem to be deeper aswell.

still havent heard back from them.

been a week now
