Title: Radiator mounting
Post by: GTsRFine on November 30, 2007, 10:32:30 AM
For those who have mounted their radiators with a forward or reverse tilt - Did you also angle the coolant inlet & outlet connections or did you let the rubber hoses take up the angle offset?

As you can tell from the question, I'm still fussing with various bracketry and different competing ideas for mounting the radiator and fan. BTW - a used Chevy Beretta electric fan seems to be perfect for matching the surface area of the early Mustang radiator I'm working with.

I had my lower fitting moved to the other side for my application, so the Rad shop tilted it up for me, my upper is also tilted.
I used a elect fan from a Gm as well, the shroud that was on it was offset and wider than the Mustang Rad so I trimmed it and then split a piece of rubber hose to cover the cut edge, it works great.
