[quote="mikec(nz)"]I thought there needed to be a bit of flex and movement on the radiator and intecooler mounting to avoid cracking when hitting bumps or ripple strips. They are quite fragile. Normally a bit of rubber works or mount on something that has a bit of flex. Looks like we are b...

made up the bottom inter cooler bracket today the piping should clear the chassis rails fine. don't worry about the tape at the top, i might run a tube between the rails and weld some tabs to mount the top of the cooler to. i'm not sure if i should put the oil cooler on the same bar or on the outsid...
