Anyone care to advise what would be best for a standard P2 6?Car will be used for circuit racing. Also what hits ill need to fit it. Also also, would you guys recommend a new standard rad, or a nissens one? Cheers, pebbles  ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

I'd fit a 16 or 19 row 235mm wide mocal one with a thermostatic take off plate. If you buy it as a kit you should get some fitting hardware with it to help you mount it.I bought some 20mm x 3mm aluminium flat to make my own mounting brackets, cheap as chips on eBay. I'd also buy some m6 rubber bobbins to mount it on to stop vibration, not many others tend to do this though. I think I've got a few pics of my setup in my project thread. I've gone for two 13 row coolers as I could still get to 120c with my old 19 row cooler, but that had the dan shroud blocking bits of it. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

16 row should be plenty if it's in a decent position.As above - a thermostatic sandwich plate isn't much extra and is worth fitting. Look at buying the bits individually rather than a kit. You can get hoses made by a hydrolic place to the exact length you need cheap enough. Allows you to fit the cooler exactly where you want, not having to mount it where the kit supplied hoses restrict you to. ________________________________________  |

16 or 19 row for racing as you will often be 6 inches from the car in front so cooling is reduced drastically. Or go for a laminova, immune to damage from flying debris and doesn't need to be mounted in airflow. +1 on the rubber bobbins, vibration shags the solder joints on flimsy air to oil coolers.Mounted to my FMIC but you get the idea...  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I'd get some plastic mesh bonded to the back of the bumper grille to stop a flying stone from piercing you cooler or rad though.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I used some metal mesh to sit infront of mine, secured by a few tie wraps. Not a perfect solution but better than a stone causing you to drop all your oil without realising.  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Don't fit a thermostatic plate if you intend to fit an Accusump (a good idea on a car with a standard sump).________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
