Here are a couple more pics...
The radiator is floating, not bolted directly to the frame as I've heard that bolting directly to the frame can cause the radiator to crack as there is a lot of expansion when hot... It sits on rubber mounts on the bottom and bolted on through rubber grommets along the top edge. And yes, it works great and everything stays cool!!!    |

I might go this route and make one out of aluminum square tube. Great idea to have it floating on rubber mounts. And I like this radiator. Is there plenty of room for the filler? When you purchase fans as you suggested do they come with some sort of controller? How is it wired? Thanks |
