Radiator mounting…
Radiator mounting…
Besides mounting it on the bulbar is there a safe and functional alternative.
I am fitting a 2ltr Nissan (carby) motor into a 75 Kombi.

ive heard of some mounted betreen the chassis rails, but if there is enough space, why not put it behind the engine like mine, just cut a hole in the
hatch. works well.

I have seen one on the net somewhere ,where they have made the radiator look like the spare wheel , the core is circular,with the outter edge
surrounded in those perspex wheel covers and a stainless steel mesh over the radiator core and the hoses then go straight down and under the car back
to the motor. As to the thickness of the core ? you will have to ask the maker what's best

ive also seen that kombi try on
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/1811/
good modifed site. btw my radiator is underneath and im not really a fan of it. I'm always getting worried about hitting stuff and if i
don't run the fan constantly it will start to overheat. but it is out of the way and no-one knows its there when you want to drag an unsuspecting
commodore or something. u2u for details

Hey mate
Home safe and sound and the pop top survived.
Was think on the way back about a setup I saw years ago and how it could be modified to fit a kombi.
Locate your batteries under the back seat beetle style and use Two Mini (as in the car) radiators placed in the battery locations so that air
travelling down the scoops has to pass through them. Along with an extraction fan on your rear grill (Maybe 2) it should provide enough cooling for
you.
Opinions ne1 ?
