Avon rad

As the previous post. Rad rests on extensions to the bottom front chassis rail and is held in place by a bracket at the top. The hoses also help to hold it in place. A lot of builders ditch the Tiger radiator and replace it with a VW polo one (me include) which is smaller so will sit vertical an is also aluminium which is obviously a lot lighter.

having got a tiger one i fitted it. Here is a picture of how i did it. I made two brackets at the botton in alloy to stop the rad moving sideways and the made a u bracket at the top which bolts throuth the top chassis rail. Hope this helps. When it fails I will probably change it out for a polo one. Rescued attachment IMGP0765.JPG
