    I made a rad bracket out of some drilled 1.5mm steel plate, just cut it to size and it works a treat, one end on the rad the other on the throttle cable bracket.

    You can buy a long throttle cable from here:

    One-stop shop for Kit Car and Classic Car Parts, Kit Car repairs and painting. Tools and Accessories for the Kit Car and Classic Car Enthusiast.


    Or just call the AA and get them to put a new cable in for you, that what i did. As long as the sleeve reaches the bracket.

    Good lcuk

    i had to make a brace for the rad ,the hose was not good enough...this was due to the fact that i have a second intercooler in front of the rad...you can just see it in the pic..(black bar in front of rad) also a pic of the manifold

    Not really had any problems, but i notice the rad rubbing into the coolant hose which might cause a problem later down the line.

    This doesnt fit with the reverse inlet manifold - is there an alternative (e.g. a custom bracket) as apposed to just letting the coolant hose support it?

    Can't you post your GT35 upgrade data in another project thread, so we don't go off-topic regarding Wagner reverse IM install questions? Just my preference

    lindahl : have used ss manifolds on my cossie for 4 years now, with no problems, but i also use a turbo damper, so dont want to say that ss manifolds are bad, but dont forget to get them stabilised or they WILL crack.

    Spec is as written earlyer, compleetly std engine but uprated rods, wagner reverse inlet and i/c kit GT35 on AR.63 ex housing @ 1,5bar
