gu4800 Member 156 Member For: 17y 9m 10d Location: Brisbane Posted 17/05/07 11:08 AM Share Posted 17/05/07 11:08 AM (edited) I got my car apart and stock cooler off, but it looks like the passengers side of the F6 cooler uses a different bracket than the stock cooler. Anyone fitted one recently?I didn't get the brackets!DanEDIT: SHOULD READ "BF" XR6T - from BF F6 to BF XR6T.

I used the F6 brackets with mine, but I"m sure they are the same brackets. Only problem I found was the horn had to be relocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the brackets have been located and I will pick them up later.Now I gotta pull that front bar off again - hate that part!Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I painted mine black to keep the factory look.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be that the BF's changed the mounting position on the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BA has the passenger mounting brackets off to the side of the tank, whereas on the BF they are on top of the tank. It's not just the brackets - the coolers are different.Look at the two pics below (using PWR as an example):BA - off to the side (look at the right hand side):BF - on top of the tank (again, look at the right hand side):You learn something new every day!Dan Edited 21/05/07 09:32 AM by gu4800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
