While i was waiting for the UPS guy I decided to mock up the rad and cooler with the hoses to make sure the components would fit together. My main worry was the alignment of the fittings on the cooler hoses would bind and put stress on the cooler fitting. Glad I check they undoubted would have. The only way around this is to have the hoses enter the cooler from the drivers side. I decided to make the system more modular. I will add a 1/8" or 3/16" x 1.5" strip of aluminum to the top and bottom of the rad. This will have several tapped and threaded holes in it to suit the fan and cooler locations. the aluminum sheet metal parts appear blue in the images and the bronze colour is the additional strips. Mount this way also gets away from the spacer tubes on the cooler and saves a ton of weight.
