Need pics of vertical mounted radiators. And i have a question.

Im currently trying to mount my koyo radiator verticaly and have already made brackets for the top but im unsure of how i want to make the bottom brackets. Since the radiator just sits in two holes stock im unsure of how to go about securing it from moving under hard driving. How have others gone about mounting their's vertical?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and pictures!




Oh and please no flaming since my car is an ls1 car. Here is a picture of what i have so far

I just replaced my stock radiator with a Koyo yesterday and this morning finished it off. I have a front mount from HKS and it came with brackets for relocating the radiator in an upright position. Here's what the bottom brackets look like. If you have the stock radiator the rubber caps on the bottom just pul off and can be place on the Koyo. Hopefully this gives you an idea

The aluminum brackets are sturdy? What size/ thickness aluminum did you use?

!/8'' aluminum the way it hangs there is not much stress on the bends.
It pulls tight when the weight is on.

Have any of you who have vertically mounted the radiator made a custom undertray?

What kind of temps do you see?

I have a custom undertray, FMIC. I have never seen temps above 190f on either the dragstrip, or road course. Ducting is the key.
