Editing Replace the radiator & cooling fans (section)

==New Radiator Modifications==
The [http://www.eliseparts.com Eliseparts] hi-pressure radiator comes with only a couple of pre-drilled hole for securing to the mounting panel.  Further holes need to be made to take the mounting brackets and fan tray assembly.

The simplest approach was to align the new radiator on top of the old OEM radiator and drill through.  The holes do not have to be exact as there is allowable movement in mounting points on the panel.
