Be Cool Radiator
« on: April 01, 2008 - 11:14:39 PM »
Just received my Be Cool radiator today and there are no brackets on the side to mount it in the car ??? Does anybody else have a Be Cool Radiator ??? And if so - How in the hell did you go about mounting or did yours come with brackets ??? It sure is purty though and YES I KNOW THAT -  :useless:

I see that there was another thread on this asking for pictures which would certainly help, but the pictures from that one are long gone.

I think the radiator I got from them is a different one.  Mine had small tabs welded to it, much like the ones StRoKer has.  However,  I had to cut the aluminum top bracket that was supplied with it, to fit.   I will try and grab a picture and post it.

Wow this makes me feel much better - That is exactly what I got. I was expecting the brackets to be on the side from top to bottom. I was looking at those brackets and wondering what the hell am I going to do with this. I SEE said the Blind Man.

I think that I am going to want to have mine sit up a little higher, almost even with the cross bar of the radiator support. Eiether have to shim it up at the bottom or have those cleats moved down. Will have to do something different with that brace at the top as will.

Looks like the classic chevy style  :faint:

I had side brackets put on my radiator to fit the factory holes.

I would show ya a picture but it was only 3 weeks ago. :rofl:

looks just like the one I put in a Customer Hemi runner, the way the fans fasten to the rad is a little cheesy if you ask me. I wish they used the factory mounting points in the core support.

Stroker, Let me know what you come up with on the top bracket. What would you recommend as far as raising it up maybe 3 1/2 inches ??? I can either find someone that can wel aluminum to lower those cleats on the side or shim it up from so that the mounting point is higher.

It is a real tight fit ... the back of those fans are real close to the pumps....... I actually grinded mine a little.... had alittle more clearance with the aftermarket powersteering pump.... the back of your nice shromy fans may be not as bulky as mine... or it could be worse  :eek7:

 :picture: I might have put a little bigger belt in also to get the pump away from the fan.... however the factory style pump is right up on th fan.... like a 1/16 right up on... could put blocks under it and lift it up if it will clear... would need longer bolts to fasten into the plug you have to put into the frame.....
