I bought this unknown intercooler from some guy off of craigslist. I was looking at it the other day and realized that i have no way to mount it! there were two bolts on the side of it, but they are broken off in the cooler mount holes. Is there anyway i can drill and tap this thing? or what are my options here? Id like to have two bolts in the top and two in the bottom. heres a crappy pic, ill take some better ones of the cooler tonight. thanks



i just threw it in there to see if it would fit and snapped a pic, its not going to be there perminatly...

 

i just read my own post and thought it sounded like i was asking you guys to tell me how to mount in the the car... im only asking how i can tap it to put bolts in it, or another method i could use that wouldnt involve drilling into this thing.

 

Either weld on tabs to it, or use some kind of Straps. (Like muffler straps).

 

Another option is welding bungs to the intercooler exactly where you need them.

 

i have a mig, but i cant weld aluminium could i use a brazing rod and a cylinder of MAPP gas?

 

Mark where you'd want the mounting bungs to be, and take it to a welding shop... shouldn't be more than 20 bucks to weld a couple aluminum bungs onto that thing. Just be careful with tightening them as it's easy to strip threads out of aluminum..... also use a bung with a coarser thread, not fine, it'll hold up better.

 

thanks man, ill do that.
