I need to get a radiator hold down like that but without the Saleen. That radiator doesn't look to bad. The only part I dont really like is where the cap will be.

I did all of the welding and grinding myself, started to do the bondo/smoothing over work, but ended up taking it to a local shop to finish. I suck at that, lol. For the finish work and paint it was like $500 I think, you could probably find a cheaper place to do it up in Sac.

It was 179 plus $8 shipping from Summit, should be a direct bolt in if you don't have AC. I have read if you have AC you have to move the lines a bit.

Unfortunatley the Tremec isn't in yet ![[Frown]](frown.gif) . I have had some money problems as of latley due to a speed contest ticket, impound, and lawyer fees. The good news is I already paid off my car this month, registered it, and dont have to smog it for another year so that's all taken care of. I am just going to get some new Nitto 555's all around and then i'll get the Tremec.
Right now I just have the tranny lines going to my external flex-a-lite tranny cooler. Here's what it looks like on the front of my radiator.

UPR sells them, you might want to talk to stanger91 I think he sells them for a couple bucks cheaper.

I tryed to order one from UPR but I had a big ordeal and will never order a thing from them again. Right now i'm not really worried about it, the stock radiator hold downs work quite well when modfied.

How's the radiator working for you? I think im going to buy one next week. My car is a 5speed. Do you know the modifications i will have to do? DO you know the part numbers for the radiator and the cath can? Does the radiator or catch can come with hold down brackets?
