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!

EDIT: SHOULD READ "BF" XR6T - from BF F6 to BF XR6T.

Should bolt straight up. 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.

Thanks mate, but the bracket is definitely different - a different offset. 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!

Not sure of yours is a BA or BF, but just did mine and cal tell you this:

1) MUST have F6 brackets

2) NOT a direct fit - have to drill 2 new holes for the passenger side bracket

3) HORN does not have to be relocated

Other than that, a very simple job. Oh, and I painted mine black to keep the factory look.

BOTH CORRECT!

Just sussed out the BA and BF standard T cooler - they are different. 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):
