    Honestly though, I’d keep the au radiator if it fits. Mine had some weird bogandore radiator that didn’t have the right side inlet and outlets.
    Thanks bud it helps loads. The au radiator was wiped out by roo. And without checking got one for xg. So ill have the plates.built in the next few weeks.

    Mine also had the wrong radiator and hoses when I bought it too so ignore those but it does show the brackets and placement.
    Sweet cheers mate. That helps a bundle. Now i know what they look like. Could i trouble ya for the dimensions. So i can get the bracket made up please

  3. there is a rubber grommet that goes in the radiator, just so it has a little give for vibration. then the bolt goes through that into the brackets.
    there are nut and bolt shops that could give you nuts for those ford bolts easily if you were making your own mounting plate
     
    I don't have access to an XG, [mention=27]SPArKy_Dave[/mention] [mention=1138]Outback Jack[/mention] [mention=34]hendrixhc[/mention] may be able to take a photo of the top mounts for you maybe.. 
    from experience, i'd say any exhaust shop could make up a suitable mount in about a slab of beer  time.... but in Tassie, not sure what's there [mention=21]Mr Polson[/mention] might be able to give some guidance depending where you are.

    if it was here, i'd have it mounted using push bike parts i found on hard rubbish with a bit of fuel hose for a grommet.. 
    but then, for $50 odd you could probably buy the parts missing from a wrecker and have an exhaust shop weld in a patch for the drivers side hacked out section(exhuast shops are more likely to do small jobs compared to a panel shop for eg)
    Cheers for the assist. Hunting around now for what i need. I'll i pester the local mechanic to see if he's got some spare bolts.

  4. Thanks. Yeah i paid through the nose for the xg radiator. I have the top support bolts... are there supposed to be rubber bushes for these?d313bccaea46486005bc76c678e603d7.jpg

  5. the top left is missing it's bolt in mount, that side is easy. that's for an XG radiator.. for AU, no idea sorry... i remember test fitting one 15yrs ago approx and it was easier to get a new correct XG one for some reason
     
    the top right(drivers side) i'd just make a plate and put a bolt through whats there and another through the radiator

  6. the top XG mounts bolt on/in . got a photo of whats been cut?  you'd need to chop an awful lot out to make it gone i'd think
     
    Excuse the dodgy workmanship but i had to make do with what i had at hand.6fd2ba08519fe175b51d3c5d12b8f001.jpg4ffad1c84e0c5aa9ed7c4df55b02bffa.jpg

  7. The stock XG mounts are still hiding underneath I can see.
    I'm sure they did it, because proper XG radiators are about $400, and AU ones cost half that.
    The top mounts have been completely cut out. Which is why i gotta use an AU radiator. I don't know why it was done.

  8. Hello there (general Kenobi) any one know the measure ments of the radiator mounting pins for an Au falcon.

    My XG ute has been Frankensteined by previous owner. And cut away the xg radiator mounting points. And welded in what i think is an AU lower bracket. And i dont have the inclination or time or engineering skill to return it to stock.

    Can anyone help me please41f18a54d0d5f2366f26a84a67ebecde.jpg2a72b5d02789c795bd00bb3fe0bcddf9.jpg

  10. I need a new or aftermarket transmission cooler for my ute. Anyone know the dimensions of this part (im not sure if i have orginal part installed.) And who would stock this part, as im having a hard time tracking one down for my model.69d27399500049330187db9718ee505c.jpga8ee48f645d1063b6b1f699179c60386.jpge0d55ace4366578a2306990a8d745b5d.jpg

  12. I saw this too. I’m guessing it doesn’t have a thermostat in it as the water won’t circulate with it shut. It looks like a part fix for a leaking heater core. It looks to be bypassed in other photos.

    That other thing is definitely an electro magnet. I’m curious to know where the wires go.
    It has a thermo... ijust cant see it on th e gauge. The thermo werks, opems closes in ye old pot test

  15. Aftermarket crossflow trans cooler may be cheaper, if you can make it fit.

  17. Btw, actual trans rebuild kits for the BTR, are about $400,
    plus any solenoids ontop of that.

    To have someone rebuild it, usually costs around $1500 - $2000
    I'll give it a banana peel lol.

  18. XG trans coolers are again, unique to XG.
    If you can clean up your one, I'd do that.
    Trans rebuilds need a very clean environment to do successfully.
    If it is working ok, just give it a good service - filter/trans fluid - if the fluid is dark red/brown/black.
    If it's thumping gear changes, it may need a new S5 solenoid.
    I noticed they're special. Lol. I always tend to find the one off years or models. Lol. Got a pic or something. As mine is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarked with a capitol faaaaaaaaaarked. Its speuing transfluid hence the oil stains in the pic. Lol.

  19. Anyone know the dimensions of the transmission cooler for xg falcon. Mines covered in putty... need to buy a new one. Also is it worth rebuilding the guts of the transmission and how much either way?? Thank you for your patience.fbcdef26b2aa7243a3388a9379339873.jpg
