johnc Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Here are a couple shots of the custom radiator mount that Bill Savage fabbed. The radiator itself is a C&R two pass aluminum with a big heat exchanger. The upper mount is a little overkill and shows Bill's experience building Nissan's off-road race trucks. The lower radiator mount was made strong on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Looks really great! From the look of it, he used thin guage metal (which is good) to keep the weight down. Now just a little bit of polish or paint and it'll rock! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 John, this guy's incredible. I'm sure all this work (the strut tower mounts, and this rad stuff) isn't cheap! I see you've designed this to be stiffening up (triangulating) the frame rails to the rad support. It seems I remember you mentioning that this was a "flexible" part of the car and that fixing that really helps the front end geometry stay put.

johnc Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 It helps the front end geometry and the core support but it really helps the anti-roll bar mounts. There are two tubes that pass completely through the frame rail and they are welded on each side. Its also the foundation for some aero stuff we're planning next year. Watch for a CF splitter with front wheel tunnels, vortex generators, dive planes, and brake ducting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Love the punched holes for lightening/strengthening, obviously the guy is good, and a race fabricator, those little touches tell the story. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruben Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Hey John, What are the specs are you C&R radiator, (width, height, inlet/outlet size)? Thanks, Ruben '72 240Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
