Question Koyo Installation Question

Hey Guys, I was looking around on the forum and i can not seem to find an answer to my problem. I bought a Koyo Rad for my S5 FC and when i went ot install it there are not installation brackets for the koyo and the rad a currently have has the brackets welded on. How did you guys running a koyo rad install it to the chassis of the car? Did you have to buy brackets? Anyone have any idea where i can get them or what to do?

Thanks
Jduani

Use brackets off old radiator. In your case your screwed, you will either have to cut your current brackets off or make your own or buy some from the classifieds. The factory radiator has removable brackets

You'll have to find a set of stock brackets and bolt them on. The Koyo should have mounting holes for the stock brackets, at least my Koyo did on my old RX-7.

The brackets are $50 a piece from the dealer... I'd get them form the scrapyard.
