Santa brought me a new CoolCat rad for Christmas. Now for the fun part of putting it in.

 

Good for you! CoolKat has a number of "Kool" products too.

 

the new CoolCat rad is in. only had a few spills while burping the system. Otherwise a simple installation.

 

Beautiful radiator. I have a series 1.5 and am torn between having original recored or the kool cat--How was the install?? mounting points, etc? Thanks

 

It was a good fit, lower mounting brackets needed a little trimming but coolcat has some drawings in the instructions regarding this. My brackets were close to the new rad bolt holes but a struggle to fit so I drilled the bracket holes out a bit bigger to give me some wiggle room. Coolcat supplies a new fan switch with fewer surprises compared to the otter switch. A basic DIY job I would say.
