I am installing a used koyo radiator that I picked up years ago. It seems like I'm missing brackets to mount the top of the radiator. Does koyo come with brackets? The radiator that came out of the car has brackets welded to it, but I'm not sure if it's stock of an aftermarket replacement.

I was doing some reading on installing koyo radiators and people were talking about flipping or swapping brackets, so I feel like I'm missing something. Does anyone have some insight?


This is the radiator and bracket that came out of the car. I always thought it was stock, but now I'm not sure.

This is where I should have a bracket on the koyo I think.

This is where the bracket mounts in my car and is held down with a nut, 93 r1.

 

That is not a stock radiator. Stock rad has plastic end tanks and detached brackets.
Banzai sells brackets to install an aftermarket rad: FD SS Radiator Brackets

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Based on my research you have confirmed what I had thought. I guess I'll be buying more parts lol.

 

The Koyo (at least the one in my car I installed years ago) has the brackets welded on it.

 

then someone did that, Koyo has always used the OEM brackets regardless of version. Fluidyne welded on the tabs
