ON v-mount Rad mod?

Its time to upgrade my oem rad so i went ahead and ordered the Koyo rad...i was thinking while i would have the car apart i could look into going into v-mount.

Does anybody know/or has used anyone that can modify my koyo rad so that the outlet could be moved to the top of the rad?

Thanks in advance,
Ken

why don't you just order a kit as opposed to making your own?

Because its triple the price (with the dollar exchange ) and it would be more cost efficient if i made my own

An alternative is just have someone weld the return underneath on a normal koyo rad like you ordered. Dave did this with my custom v-mount. A rad with 2 outlets at the top would have to come like that already since the flow characteristic is different.
