Well, they need spacing out from the horn mounting points, with longer bolts and nuts which haven't been provided. But more to the point mine don't line up with those bolt holes

Pictures speak a thousand words. I've emailed these to Ed with some suggestions for improvements, but I thought I'd show you guys too.

Ed's suggestion was that the tops of the brackets need spacing out with longer bolts, which makes sense except I don't think the brackets are quite long enough to do that (aside from the driver's side one that I've got being on the p1$$).

So where are we with this now? Will they fit with longer bolts on the top, do we all have to resend our address?

I've just emailed Ed with my address, he replied saying his hoping to post them out tomorrow.

He also said he is still missing one (possibly two) addresses, so if you haven't emailed him yet then now would be a good time to do so!

Hi folks. I haven't been on much recently.

Has everyone got their brackets now? Do they fit OK? I have mine but am miles away from trying them as things stand.

Did anyone fit the brackets in the end?

I finally got around to trying them at the weekend, not very impressed with the fitment.

The brackets are too short so the top holes don't line up with the horn mounting points. Also the cut out for the bleed point on the Fiat rad is too small.

The brackets will need quite a bit of work to make the fit properly, too much for me, so I've ordered the Radtec radiator from Rogue instead.
