ID Workz civic radiator adapter kit for Glanza V

[bender]

Hello all, I am wondering what people have used to attach the legs of the radiator to the adapter brackets supplied from ID Workz.

I assumed you would use the civic rubber mounts as the glanza rubber is much too large for the 5/8 hole in the adapter. but the civic rubber mounts are also too large, i might be able to hog the hole out to fit the larger rubber mounts but i didnt think it was needed, am i missing something?

i'll have to double check when i get a chance...but somehow i think i cut two short pieces of coolant/fuel hose (which fit close/tight) and placed a piece over each "leg" at the bottom of the radiator...basically to keep it snugly in place in the bracket holes

again, from memory, i also use a short piece of rubber pad/hose on each leg/side to fit between the bottom of the radiator and the bracket to stop the radiator bottom from touching the bracket itself----i wanted no rubbing between the bracket and the radiator, as aluminum is typically a softer material, so no chances taken..

thats a good idea i didnt think of, i ended up finding a grommet that was slightly bigger than the holes in the bracket, so i just made the bracket hole slightly bigger, i will upload photos tomorrow when i finish.

I noticed for the top bracket, the hole that is on the left side has no threads or nut underneath, so i assume people just put a nut underneath and screw it down snugly? I also found the lower rad support bracket is welded on the side the civic radiator mounts to, and the AC line bolts directly to that, i guess the part of that bracket that the AC line bolts to can just be cut and welded to the new bracket

I used the wee sleeved rubber bushes that are on the factory intercooler mounting points, just popped the sleeve out and they are a perfect fit

That reminds me, I need to secure the bottom bracket better

I assumed the IDWorkz kit came with inserts, but only the JD kit does:

As said above though some silicon hose should do the trick.

I relation to your other questions, post some pictures so we can compare to our setups to help you.
