Rear Mount Radiator Pipe

Post by suzookyman »

Got a twin fan Radiator out of a V6 Honda the other day and was only after
the fan off it but the whole thing is mint so I'm thinking of chucking it in the back ( soft top Suzuki bush truck ) but I need some pipe to plumb it in, has anyone north of Auck's got anything lying around that would be suitable?
cheers AL

Hey

I used exhaust tube to do mine. Got 38mm (i think) cause it fitted Darinz bender. Was about $50 for a length, bent it up and put a bit of heat padding over it as it runs in the cab.
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed

dosent really answer your question but just a thought to throw into the equation, beer_cruiser stuck a spare cruiser radiator on the back of his 40 and plumbed it up to the heater outlets on the engine (no heater in his truck :cry: ) and ran it in tandem with the radiator on the front of the truck, seemed to work ok

Now thats a good idea, crafty if you could tee into heater circuit, then use heater control to operate a 'gate' valve at the tee if you get my drift.
If you break it... build it stronger.
