Ok, I am back on my cruiser project and I am to the point where I need to mount my radaitor. I currently have a summit 26X19 aluminum radiator that I need to mount in my 63fj40.

I am looking for mounting ideas with photos if possible. I have been searching here and ih8mud for some time but I am not finding a heck of alot.

Would be real simple to just widen the stock cradle. Cut in the middle, weld in some angle to extend to the necessary width. VortecCruiser did this, and it looks fine..works great. Here is a pic he sent me.
Cheers!

Thanks for the pictures guys,

orangefj45, Can you tell me a little bit about your mount, from what I can tell you bent some 1/2x1/8 or 1/4 flat stock to fit the radiator and welded either round tube or all thread to the flat stock and use that to tight things down?

what about movement front to back? or do you run the support rod from the fire wall back?
