Those are butchered AU top radiator mounts and that is an AU bottom radiator support beam which has been chopped short. Yes, they are AU mounts. Go back to XG, if you can afford an XG radiator. They are unique, and hence are a bit pricey. Don't be tempted to buy an ebay Ally one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?)  1 GoofyBuddah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deankxf 20,266 Posted March 22, 2018 take a look at the "fix" for the bypass coolant pipe that usually runs under the manifold and around the back of the engine to the waterpump.. if you can't spot it, look for the 45degree pipe sticking up behind the thermostat housing and near shock tower on left.. wonder what they have done at the water pump side?   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
