I finished working on my custom mounting bracket bar this weekend. What I ended up was this:
I went to lowes and purchased:
1. (6) 1/4 - 20 x 1-1/4" nuts and bolts
2. a 1/4" tap
3. 1/4" thick aluminum bar 1" x 4' long.
I cut the aluminum bar into (2) 2 foot pieces and measured out the hole demensions according to the spal print. This gave me my upper and lower mounts.
I drilled and tapped the holes to give the 1/4-20 bolts something to "bite" to.......it made it easier lining everything up with the radiator still in the car. Plus it made the attachment more solid since the bolts are tapped in.
Then I attached a 1" wide strip of closed cell foam to the back of the bar so it wouldn't damage my radiator when mounted.
I think it turned out pretty good :thumbs:
The only other thing I need to do is remove those stock clothes hanger support rod thingy's they are distorting my radiator lip.....and could cause failure later on.
