There are a few pics in this thread.

Has anyone got the dimensions of the Vit rad (width/height)? I have never seen one in the flesh.

jamie

did u get the auto or manual one?

as the auto one is the bigger one and also has the outlets for the auto fluid to go through it.

[greengtizook]

their was two differant sizes, i got the smaller one wich is still bigger than the original suzuki one, both had cooler lines you just dont use them.

guess ill just make brackets from scratch. i just thought you guys might have known of a easy way like using vitara brackets or something.

[hooki]

how did you go with mounting it mate?

[USUK]

Yeh the vit mounts up like a newer car with the bottom rubber bits and top over brackets.

Joeblow did a writeup on here somewhere with pics of his vitara rad install also.

I've thought about it for mine but my 1.3 rad cools my 1.6 fine so far and if i go power steer i may think about it.

i havent done it yet lol. been to busy to look at it lately but i might get to it this weekend. if some one can find the link to jóe's write up that would be good.
also i can get these radiators new for $250 if any one wants one. probally only good for perth people unless you's want to pay freight.

I know this isn't related directly to the vit radiator but I only just noticed it yesterday. This is the best idea I've seen in ages for a rad swap. It's off a John Deere ride on mower apparently. Sorry for the hijack but I know when I've searched for radiator swaps I would have liked to stumble across a few different options.

How much are VIT Rad's worth as mine is rusted and falls apart when you touch it...
