The outlets can be made up from old slave cylinder internals and all welded up. Works a treat and not that expensive!



Would love to see pics of this!

I have to think there is a generic radiator out there that would be more efficient and smaller than the stock one that could be retrofit into the 99s without too much fuss. Some street rod version that would make our (ok my) lives easier.

I don't personally have the skills to hack one up and make it work, and can't afford a custom made one.

(I'm really trying to get the wise ones here to do my work for me...)
I wish my car had winter mood technology.

The tricky part is that they have sort of a funny shape to clear the front motor mount. And the inlet and outlet are both at the top which is unusual. You'll have to modify something to get universal one to work, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

I have one that should work for you. Just had it tested, no leaks. If your still looking I can get some pictures for you.

Where are you located?
