The brackets I used were builders fixing brackets from wickes
And 4 of the self tapping roof fixing bolt / screws they drill there own holes and have a bolt head on them some come with a plastic weather cover on them for roofing
But it's tight to get your drill in so I used them on my little 10v torque driver
Remove the front grill for more space
Good luck it's an easy job
Not a lot of fluid runs out when you cut it
I got the pics Gasy much appreciated

. If it is that simple then I will have a go

. As i said the V6 has the poke to pull caravan but the gearbox was working overtime hence the clutchy smell

.

Just purchased the cooler from your link. How well does it work for you?
The picture showing the two hoses connected to the unit, is that from the bottom looking up or top looking down

Sorry but if i did not ask i would probably end up fitting it to something I shouldn't

Pic from top looking down
With the one you bought
I'd imagin you should be able to disconnect the existing rubber hose from the existing rad and push / connect that hose straight onto your new 13 row spigot elbow , (if not extend it with the new hose you get)
Then with the another peace of new hose put that onto the other spigot elbow of the 13 row new cooler and conect to the existing rad where you took the existing hose off of
So what your actually doing is putting the new 13 row rad into that left hand existing hose at the bottom of the existing rad
But you have to extend the existing hose to reach where you need to put the new 13 row rad
I know I'm hard work to understand
The hose connections are on the top of the new rad

View from front
You can just see the new 13 row rad infront of the existing rads
You can see the coloured boy racer elbows on the stainless braded hoses the most
I'd of bought the one you got but didn't find that untill after
The hoses on yours will be lots easier to work with / conect to existing
If you need to join it think it's a 8mm spigot hose connector you will need and machine mart had them on the high street couple of pound it think
