Radiator Duct Aluminum

Rate this Entry
You have 5 main pieces. The center piece, the 2 sides and the 2 supports that attach to the sides and then to the frame.

First make sure your radiator fits under the radiator hold down band. (Some earlier kits required modifications to the lower radiator brackets.)

Next’s it’s a good idea to have the nose mounted so that the radiator duct can be positioned properly for the hood opening and also hood contact.

Here it is installed with a Glimpse of the not quite finished custom rear of headlight splash shield.

There is the commonly referred to "u" piece that sits in front of the radiator and connects to the rear duct at the bottom...many have reinforced this at this point like the angled aluminum in the pic below. Otherwise you may experience a fluttering noise at hwy speeds.

I have not seen anyone else do this, they usually stop at the Radiator. However the Radiator hold down band has a vertical upright that can except Bulb seal; if you make sure the band is installed so that this is on the back side you can attach bulb seal continuously around the duct opening.
