Trick 1 Posted April 18, 2007 HI, Can someone post me a pic of how the rad clips in at the top of a 1.9 please? When the car came back from the MI conversion, a number of things were unclipped missing and basically left flapping about....this is one of them. I think this wobbling rad is the cause of all the leaks ive had in the cooling system, ie. its putting unnecessary flex on the hoses. Anyway...i think there must be somethig missing from the rad itself at the top, as i have the two springs that are part of the bonnet panel, but nothing to clip to....

welshpug 1,657 Posted April 18, 2007 they dont clip onto anything as such, they simply press down onto the rad, but there should be 2 shaped rubber clocks there for the spring to locate onto. 1327 08 RADIATOR SPACER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted April 18, 2007 The handle spring things press down on to square rubber thingys in the middle of the 2 cores on the top of the rad. Sorry the thingys sounds REAL technical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie205 1 Posted April 18, 2007 If the rad cowling has been cut to move rad forward to clear standard inlet usually the metal springs can no longer be used. Most people just cable tie the rad to the cowling and that works well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people just cable tie the rad to the cowling and that works well They can be used still, I chopped them down & bent the end by 90' again so they still fitted like standard on the one I've modded.

Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted April 25, 2007 will these square rubber bits fit onto a nissens rad? Could do with that extra stability in mine as it tends to move a cm or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could do with that extra stability in mine as it tends to move a cm or so. yes, the rad is identical to any other rad, its just the material for the core thats different.
