Fellow Quest'rs,

I am scheduled to meet with a Griffin Rep. tomorrow to discuss the fitment issues.

 

#1 The Rad fans will not bolt up without the use of spacers on the bungs. A simple fix of extending the bungs.

 

#2 The Rad side mounts I believe are too far away from the mounting surface causing the top tank to hit the upper Rad support putting it into a bind. The tanks of the Griffin unit are thicker/wider.

 

#3 The Griffin rad does not incorporate the lower OEM support (too wide). I am looking for their assurance that the side supports are sufficient.

 

#4 I will be discussing the possibility of having custom top tanks made to include Mitsubishi + stars and/or Turbo and/or TSI/ESI. See Top Tank pic below.

 

#5 I will be discussing the (no brainer) possibility of having NON-IC Rads made for the clutch fan crowd.

 

#6 I will also ask for the possibility of aluminum fan shrouds to go with #5.

 

#7 I will inquire about replacement ICs and Tranny coolers especially 88-9 auto cars. Anybody own a straight 88-9 Auto tranny cooler?

 

I will post my notes tomorrow if all goes as planned. Meeting was cancelled today due to my daughters illness.

 

If I have missed a point that should be covered LMK.

Thank you,

#2 is really the only one that seems a little disconcerning to me.

 

A new lower rad support can be bent up really easy. I believe it's rounded to fit the stock rad so I wasn't really expecting it to work. And the spacers would only be a slight inconveinence.

 

I do appreciate the effort though. Let us know how it goes.
