Cheers for that mate yeah i see christian has a set for sale teh as ones are 52mm deep so as long as i have around 55mm inbetween the cooler and the rad i should be alright also my bumper is 88 spec and i wont be changing it to 90 does that make much difference?

As above the proper fittings are dirt cheap look on ebay for kits of 4. Don't phone auto specialists as they want £15 for 8 of the ties!!!

mines a radtec 1 with twin spal fans. when i first built it i ran the fans on the front of the cooler but wasnt happy with how effective they were so spaced the cooler further forwards and put the fans straight onto the rad
