milk Member 6 Member For: 13y 5m Posted 25/09/13 01:39 PM Share Posted 25/09/13 01:39 PM I'm trying to fit a 1000hp cooler in my fg xr6t but it doesn't seem to be fitting properly. I've read that some of you had to bend and cut some things that arn't in the instructions given. The top of the cooler hits the a/c pipe and the picture that's in the instructions doesnt have the bent my pipe mine does. This is what the one in the instructions looks like https://www.plazmaman.com/upload/dazcvrrlekmmllwz.jpg (in the top right hand corner of the cooler). Any tips?

Just CAREFULLLY BUT FIRMLY bend it untill you have enough clearance to fit it up. Wish I took pics of this when I did my install There's no other way around it unfortunately as the kits aren't version specific :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milk Member 6 Member For: 13y 5m Posted 26/09/13 06:06 AM Author Share Posted 26/09/13 06:06 AM Yeah it's a late model mk1. Could I heat it with a heat gun or blow tourch to bend it or not?Its also rubbing on the little aluminium cube that's directly below the a/c pipe about 20cm but I can probably fix that by moving the radiator support back even more.Whats your clearance like between the thermos and the fanbelt/pullys?I probably should have opted for the Plazmaman instead yeah.

Have about 2cm clearance, hardly any but enough without making it dangerous. I just used my muscles and kept on bendng it up and then back to sorta flatten it out like the early mk1's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was annoying but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
