here's where the rad sits in my v6 bus.
the rad is from a hx holden v8.
it has a thermo fan on the back to blow air through.

there's a duct that sits behind the beam to direct cold air through the rad.

view of top of rad.
sits neatly between chassis rails, and on an angle so air passes through it easily.

hey thats how i had the vn v6 rad fitted but I couldn't relocate the outlets mmm , changing mine to up front as the kombi gets a lot of offroad use, also want to get a an all alloy rad due to the fact I burst the end plastic end tank one up on its second outing ( pretty common for these ones).
