Thread: Intercooler or WTA radiator mounting

Pins with rubber mounts, much the same as the existing radiator

I was planning to make a cradle out of 5mm reinforced rubber belt for the front WTA radiator.

For the intercooler.. my pipes will be very short (same mounting position as rovercare I think) I was going to see if I could cut up some suspension bushes or something and bold through them to give it a little give. No idea if it would work though.

I've tried, but cant come up with any idea what you mean by making a cradle from rubber belt

My WTA radiator is just a Frozenboost cheapie and just has mounting brackets on each side (so 8 mounts in total).
I've just had a look on evilbay for vibration mounts, and there are small ones they use for R/C boat engines that look like they would do the job - around $20 for a set of 4.

Sorry I wasn't very descriptive.. I just mean making floating mounts out of the rubber belt.. like you use a 5-6mm thick belt, drill holes in it and mount one part to the body and one part to the radiator on the corners. Then other bits to stop the radiators from touching each other or flexing when they hit a wall of water in a river crossing.
