i got a pace 500 intercooler and radiator just wondering if anybody come up with any good ideas for brackets to support the top of rad stop it flaapping around been told by nms that eventually the rubber bobbins spit and rad will fall out

 

How wil the rad fall out, the rubber bobbins should be held in place by a bolt and large washer???? Never had any trouble with them before nor heard of trouble with them before. Your pipe work shouldhold it fairly upright anyhows imo.

 

I have similar problem I have two forge items and there not the best fit with one another and tended to flap about somewhat, I have just taken them out and given them to an alloy fabricator to change the brackets and make them sit together better

 

I use Pace rad and cooler in my saff...

cooler bolted to body with spacers no rubbers and rad as per std.
I've no movement,maybe u need new rubber mounts..

 

get ya self 2 L brackets and drill a ten mill hole in 1 end , un do the 2 top bolts that hold the fans to the rad, fix the brackets to the bolts that hold the fans to the rad.push the L bit of the bracket up to meet the under neath of the 500 cooler outlet pipe,and then put a jublly cilp a round the 500 cooler out let and tigten with the L bit of the bracket in between the cooler pipe and the jublly clip then jobs a good en

 

ITS fitted right karl norris had a look and said would be best to support with brackets they had got a 3dr in there on wednesday whilst i was having remap and the rad had fallen out jammed under the wheel and caused an accident
so just for extra safety im going to make some brackets from the top of the rad to the front cross member

 

just make those little brackets all sorted in a hour
