Default QUICK HELP PLEASE ..RE GRS

Got me new Bling cooler today ...Cheers Graham


I wanted to fit the slim kenlowe in between the rad and cooler, but to this and leave clearance for the fan 'nut', i will have to cut some of my bumper which ideally i dont wanna do. So, i decided to look at the way Kenlowe reccomend fitting it....intercooler butt up tight to the rad, then the fan to the cooler. Done this, but there is a little gap still in between the rad and cooler, about 5-8mm....this is becuse of the end being prouder than the cores.

IS THIS OK? Before i continue????

Lee..

Yes, thats fine.

Make sure your rad is in good condition (preferably New) to prevent the cooling problems that you can easily get from completely covering the front of the rad!!

lee i moved the rad back just a tad just at the bottom so as to upright it more, had some small brackets made up which had 2 holes in one to fix the bracket to the cross member and the other was a longer hole so the rad would slide back and forth to where i wanted
worked spot on and didn't need to move it back by much
