I need some pics and ideas...for aftermarket radiator in ED/EF chassis
I just got my new radiator today, all aluminum bar and plate style with a 2.5" core. When I first talked to the guy I ordered it from he said there would be no issues fitting it in my 89 hatch if I've already fitted a stock eg 1/2 rad in there. Sounded good to me, so I ordered it...then wondered why shipping was so much. Found out why today...bitch has to way close to 30 pounds! Anyway, I went to mount it in to see how bad it would fit, and you guessed it...hood doesn't close anymore. I already trimmed out a good section of under-hood support to get the stock eg rad to fit in there, but this one sits at least a good 1/2" to 3/4" taller than the eg unit, maybe more. I need some pics or ideas for how you guys mounted your aftermarket 1/2 rad's in your 88-91 chassis, because I'm pretty much running out of ideas.
I'll get some pics of it tomorrow morning.

Well, your mounts soudns like bum, but whatever works I guess
I personally welded a nice mount in both top and bottom for a snug perfect fit
Cheap rad though, great quality to!
