Sorry for the late reply, I couldn’t find your thread for a while!
Passenger side
Drivers side
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.

Here, this may help.
Mine also had the wrong radiator and hoses when I bought it too so ignore those but it does show the brackets and placement.

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.

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, @SPArKy_Dave @Outback Jack @hendrixhc 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 @Mr Polson 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)

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

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.

GoofyBuddah reacted to deankxf in Xg transmission cooler
its likely to be the same as an EA EB ED and good chance EF EL etc with a tow bar..
go big is what i've always heard when it comes to trans coolers,
this one is double the size and half THAT price.. they should be $50 max used in my opinion

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.

Ok, it’s probably not worth the cost to post second hand hoses that far.
Try www.sparesbox.com.au they have 20% off through eBay at the moment

Well you are going to need to hook up the hoses ASAP to avoid overheating at the back of the motor

Also, WOW!.....
finally I get to see an early XG, with it's original 'Norma spring-band' type top radiator hose clamp on it!
That's made my day seeing that, seriously.
Can you do me a favour, and take a close up pic of the Ford factory part no. marking, on that top rad hose?
and can you also tell me if it says ERS, or NRS embossed into the rubber in tiny writing, or if it says Mackay?
Looking at the coarse grain of the rubber, I'd guess it's a Gates hose.
(which usually say ERS or NRS, then some numbers)
BTW, that's also an AU Falcon header tank up near the firewall, not an XG tank - as the small hoses are facing the wrong direction, and are incorrectly routed.
(goes along with the AU radiator I guess?)

Welcome aboard Bud!
Looks like its time for some custom fabrication and some polishing!

Someone has fitted an AU radiator. Those are butchered AU top radiator mounts and that is an AU bottom radiator support beam which has been chopped short.
