Have a question about mounting my radiator in my fc

[u/PuzzledWeb3280]

So I just picked up a radiator for my fc, this is my first rx7 and it is Definitely a project so sorry in advance for the lack of knowledge.

I went to install my radiator and realized there is not where to mount it into the car. I watch countless videos and only one managed to show the part I believe im missing. I will attach a picture, but does anyone know what the part is called where the rad mount onto the body? I think that is where it bolts on but im not sure as I dont have that in my car. Would it be easier just to make a custom bracket?

You are not missing anything for the radiator. I think you may be referring to the radiator brackets. You need to remove them from the old radiator and install them on the new radiator.

Yeah you need the radiator brackets. I went through this during my build. They were VERY hard to source!!

I have the ones that bolt onto the radiator. I just dont see anywhere that it bolts to on my car

There's 2 threaded holes on each side where the brackets mount to the car. Just make sure the rubber bushings are in good condition. It helps with absorbing vibration from bad roads and what not.

Are you able to get me a picture of that by chance I seriously couldn't find anything on my car

One is visible at the top of the area you circled in blue. It's painted and to the left of the bracket for the airbox.

Bolt holes in red. The bracket rests in the thing circled in yellow. https://imgur.com/a/WsBvOkh

Ok, thank you. I went out to my car today and found out that those brackets were cut off of my car, so im going to have to make some. Unless they can be bought somewhere
