OK, so i have most of what i need and i took the radiator out of the eta today (starting the engine swapping) and noticed that it doesnt have any provisions for mounting this newer style radiator. The old style radiator sits on the bottom of the core support on a few tabs. newerstyle have mounts that come out from the frame or core about half way up the radiator. How have you guys with older cars been doing it?Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

the radiator just sits on the old style mounts, its a little bit shifted to the driver side but its still pretty well centered and at the correct height. Use the new style upper support to hold it in place, i also added a ziptie around the rubber of the upper support through part of the radiator to keep it more secure. as i said its shifted to the side a little so the tabs that are on top of the radiator to engage the upper support arent quit in the right spot so it has some play if you dont secure it somehow.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I just used a lower m20 hose. just cut to fit. Works great and cheaper then a touring hose. If their is a large enough demand i can make an m20 specific upper radiator hose made of 3-4 ply silicone. Price would be about $50.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
