I went off to NIK's house today to help with installing seats and stuff then when were painting i found a vit rad in real good condition

It's made of plastic and has a auto cooling bit at the bottom, and is roughly 470-480mm tall... I know one of the model vit rads need a BL to make them fit just wondering if this is that model?

Cheers josh

measure the distance from the front tube crossmember on your chassis and the bonnet, if its less than 480mm youll need a bodylift

Oh yeah almost forgot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have installed that same vit auto radiator in my sierra (no body lift) and with the radiator mounted flush with the top of the front cross member definitely doesnt clear the bonnet. I am installing a body lift soon so just have to wait.

What have people done for the top mount on this radiator conversion?? at the moment i have zip ties and a rag...ha ha.
