B5 Core Support Alternative Location Radiator Mounts

The radiator mounting brackets that are included with the B5 aluminum core support locate the radiator in the OEM location.

-The upper brackets have the following adjustment without replacement of parts: Forward 12mm; Backwards 12mm, 14mm, 24mm, 36mm.

-The lower brackets do not have any adjustability without replacement of parts.

These are CAD models of the original parts, which are available to be modified to locate the radiator in a location better suited to your needs.

Includes:

• Passenger side lower bracket STEP file (B5A41024 PSS)
• Driver side lower bracket STEP file (B5A41024 DRV)
• Upper bushing cup STEP file (B5A41025)
• Upper bushing cup relocation shim STEP file (B5A42018)
• Lower bracket spacer STEP file to go with p/n B5A42018 (B5A42019)

Recommended uses:

-Lower Brackets:

Change the location of the 20mm bushing retention hole to locate the bottom of the radiator in a new location, and have the part laser cut from 3/16" 5052 Aluminum

-Upper Brackets:

Option A: Change mounting holes in upper bushing cup (p/n B5A41025) to locate the top of the radiator in a new location and either have the new part machined or 3D printed in a suitable material and process.

Option B: Make use of the bushing cup relocation shim and lower spacer to locate the top of the radiator in a new location - as drawn, shim locates radiator forward 22mm. Lower bracket spacer is used to ensure correct spacing between upper and lower radiator mounts. Both B5A42018 and B5A42019 are intended to be laser cut from 1/4" 5052 Aluminum

Alternatively, you can choose to have me make the brackets for you so long as you specify how far the top and the bottom of the radiator needs to be moved.
