September 24, 2004: CMC mounts.
Heikki Rinta-Koski pointed out that there are photos of how CMC mounts the same rad I used - unmodified - on his website. I'll try one more time to fix this one and if it fails, I'll buy another rad and copy the CMC mounts. I probably should have asked CMC for details on their mounts (which my car was supposed to have) but I felt a little awkward after sourcing the rad itself elsewhere. This weekend I'll give the modification another shot. I'm still concerned that with the CMC setup, the outlets will be awfully close to the suspension parts and the extra angle will hurt cooling somewhat - but it certainly is a good option. We'll see how the "repair" goes this weekend.
