CraigBZ Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the JTR radiator brackets? I bought a radiator from them for my LS1 conversion, but they don't sell the brackets anymore, so I need to get a set made up. Thanks!

JustAFantaZ Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Did you ask JTR for the dimensions or might it be in their documentation? My car's back in the shop so can't measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbirdz06 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd like to know as well. Good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigBZ Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 JTR chapter 12 on cooling gives the radiator dimensions, but not the brackets. I haven't tried asking JTR yet, but I don't think they made them themselves. It sounds like they were buying them from someone else. The bottom one seems easy enough to make; the top one seems tougher because of the 'wings' that come down to attach to the original holes. I might try some old Chevy truck top brackets if I can find them locally, then make the bottom bracket as deep as it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280~Master Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Here is a copy of my lower bracket, I had it made up for my radiator conversion from JTR and it fits great. I have a 76 280z. As for the top I did something a little different. I had a Bracket made up to resemble the top bracket of a I-Rock Camaro.

As for the top I did something a little different. I had a Bracket made up to resemble the top bracket of a I-Rock Camaro. That's basically what I did for the bottom. Looks like we came up with the same numbers. I was thinking for the top I might be able to use upper mounts from a 67-72 Chevy truck. It would drop the radiator slightly, which I'm thinking I could compensate for by making the lower one a little deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
