Not quite. You will want to add some insulating bobbins to dampen vibrations as alloy rads are prone to the effects. This can push the rad forward a smidge and thus might mean a new hose or two. Although there’s probably enough leeway to cope in reality.

Thanks, If I might need some hose''s it might be next years wintering then. They've probably got a year left in them and then I'll foul swoop the whole lot next year

This year's budget seems to have been swallowed up by carbon .

Here's how I did mine. Though I was moving the rad forward to allow a Siltech roll bar to be mounted to as the original location meant the bar would be passing through my fan! I've suffered several radiator leaks which are either due to poor manufacturing or vibration through the chassis, hence wanted to do something better.

Note this is on an S2000/Sport 250 chassis with welded on steel top mounts. The bobbins are from RS: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/stud-mounts/1263950/?searchTerm=126-3950&relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E525353746F636B4E756D626572266C753D656E266D6D3D6D61746368616C6C26706D3D5E285C647B362C377D5B4161426250705D297C285C647B337D5B5C732D2F255C2E2C5D5C647B332C347D5B4161426250705D3F292426706F3D3126736E3D592673743D52535F53544F434B5F4E554D4245522677633D4E4F4E45267573743D3132362D33393530267374613D3132363339353026

I had the posts and spacers made by a friend with a lathe. I'll gladly send dimensions if required. I did have to fit longer hoses too, given how far I'd moved forwards.

I hope not, but my current colour scheme hides any future dribbles well
