I received my radiator today. Nothing special. I may have a right angle welded on the inlet for a cleaner radiator hose setup. That’s the clutch master I picked up too. Simple, compact and remote reservoir end. I made a template then a bracket for the master and have to quickly make a brace before I weld it in. I have seen a bunch of other setups and although many people may question my reasons for going under dash, it really is a simple setup and easy as hell to do. It also means one less thing squeezed into the engine bay. For the record NA6CE clutch masters are tiny if you want a small factory one and C20 vanettes and P11 Primeras have factory remove reservoir setups if you want to go that route.
I made up a simple gearbox cross member today and drilled the holes in the floor so I know where to brace it. I put together a VLSD this morning as well before we went down to Hamilton to pick up a bunch of NA6 parts. The VLSD was to swap for an open for locker duties. Mere mere day on the 10th so have to do a bunch of shit on Nick and Damo’s NAs before then. Should be fun. Hopefully overnight parts from Japan arrive before then too. We all know it’s going to rain so I suppose no big deal.
whats the radiator? One of those alloy civic ones off trademe? I’m running the same cylinders on my pedal box
great, thats the exact same radiator i got for my conversion, fits perfect in the ute size wise but i too have to weld a right angle on…. great minds think alike…
keep up the great work…
Yep, generic Civic one should do fine.
If you don’t mind, what are the radiator dimensions?
350x358x42
thanks
