Radiator question

[synergy141]

Hi, I'm currently swapping my E30 right now and just trying to sort out my cooling options.

I've bought a Mishimoto z3 alum rad and I was just wondering how to mount it. I attached a picture of Ryan G's car and there looks to be a top black plastic bracket holding the top of the rad to the metal rad support. Does anyone have a part number for that piece?

Also which upper and lower rad hoses should I be using?

The E36 M3, Z3 S52 or the z3 S54 hoses?

I'm mounting my expansion tank on the upper passenger side using my factory location with the e30 M3 expansion tank. I've also bought a SPAL pusher fan to mount in front of the radiator.

That upper mount is the E30 one. I fitted an OEM MZ3 S54 radiator, fit right in. I used an MZ3 lower hose and just a E36 upper hose.

I think they are all the same anyway, I was told to use MZ3 upper and lower hoses, but the upper was out of stock everywhere. I ended up just putting a hose I had from my M52 and it fits the same. The thermostat housing position is basically exactly how it sits with M5x motors, same for the radiator inlets.

Ok thanks. I think the bottom mounts on the E30 M3 are different though compared to a standard e30 so I'll have to modify it
