radiator bracket mod modification rad cool air tool deyeme racing moving move

Ok, so you dont want to drop a small amount of change on a set of Radiator brackets from Deyeme Racing. This is all you have to do to make your own.

Remove the ground from the drivers side bracket and find a new home for it.

Remove both brackets with a 10mm, remove the plastic grommet from the hole. Use something to flatten out the little tabs that stick down from the bottom of the bracket. Also, remove the clip that the ground screws to from the drivers side one.

Now, use a round file or a stepped drill bit to slightly enlarage the hole that is on the left part of each bracket. This is the hole the ground was srewed through.

Lastly, line up the hole that you just enlraged back onto the tabs on the radiator core. Slide them down some to fit them on, line up the bolt hole and finger tighten the 10mm bolt.

Now just kind pull the radiator toward you to flust it up to the support, this will close the gap that used to be there. Turn the bracket so that it holds it tight and finish bolting it down.

Been this way for about 20k on a few cars around here, and it works great, costs nothing and looks 'pert near stock.
