Hi all .I'm going to be fitting a new polo radiator but need to build a frame /brackets to fit it .has anybody got any pictures of how they've fitted one .or any advice much appreciated .Cheers.

I don't have any pics but mine we just made from bits of thin angle steel and fastened to rivnuts in the chassis.

I don't remember it being too tricky to do.

If you are unaware,the rad has attachment lugs moulded into the end tanks. They will accept a short M6 setscrew, though in the original fitment something nearer a short fat hex-headed self tapper is used. But do check for available depth.

As above, I used some steel angle....

Suggest using 4 of those (m6) rubber bobbin/cotton-reel thingies to mount, so that:
- Vibration is minimized.
- Corrosion is minimized, if you manage to keep the core from being grounded.

Thanks for the tips and pictures everybody .Much appreciated. Cheers
