It depends who made it.

On the Radtec ones the top rail is different - it doesn't have the mounts for the standard intercooler.

Also the height is different as the Escos ones mount on little stands and the Saff and 3DR ones mount directly to the chassis rails on rubbers.

Not sure about other makes. I think Pro Alloy do their own mounting brackets to mount them together and then onto the car.

HTH

Cheers,

Daniel

No, as the pipe runs are entirely different.

4x4 has the two way top hose, so you'd have to change the pipework layout to comp]esnate for the rad.

I think you might be a little confused -

the 2wd has the thick pipe going to the water pump and the 4wd has the thick pipe going to the thermostate housing so the hoses are different not the rads.

cheers

miss read your answer correct the pipes are different
