C15A radiator mount and conversion
I'm hoping someone might help me with some info here. I've just got my C15A down to the workshop and tackling the radiator issue. I pressured up the original and there are several million pin sized holes everywhere, and some whoppers. So it's not a goer. I could get an ally one from the US but I have roughly 0 money to spend right now and I want to get this going or it's going to become really stagnant.
I have a VGC radiator, shroud and mount frame out of an HJ45 landcruiser. It's a bit shorter, a bit wider (still narrower than the engine bay though) but I'm thinking as the HJ45 has a 3.6L diesel should still cool pretty well. But I'm not sure how far from the fan to mount it...
Could someone either put up some pictures of how the radiator mounts (I took it out about 15 years ago so have no recollection!) or measure the distance from the fan to the back of the rad? Can anyone see any problems with this conversion (hose placements are OK)? It's 510mm wide - is there anything that will fowl? I should try and drop the front section over it but that's not a right-now job
