    Radiator fitting

    I have a Marlin supplied BMW radiator. It looks completely different from the one in the donor E30. I've got a big Y shaped bracket and 2 S shaped brackets. I can't figure out how these attach to the radiator and then to the car. Has anyone got any pictures of an installed radiator that I could have a look at?

    Thank you,

    Patrick

    I've figured out how the Marlin brackets work, but found there was not enough room of the electric fan in front with them so I made my own. Pictures here (including test fit of Marlin brackets on the previous page:

      What I would like to know is if anyone has fitted the standard e30 325 rad? It's a crossflow design and in theory more efficient than the one Marlin supply which is a traditional top to bottom flow. Also has anyone had any experience of any overheating problems?

        Cracked it. Close examination of the BMW ETK shows that the Marlin supplied radiator is in fact from a pre97 BMW. The design then changed to the one I have from my donor car which is later than 97. Solution - get a pre 97 radiator, although it dosen't seem to be as good a design(not crossflow) :-(
