Front mount intercooler w2a radiator mounting in AW11

[Vertigo]

I dont have a pic of my car, but found a pic of Revheads So use this for reference:


My problem is that the spot id like to have the radiator at is blocked by that metal piece holding the horn. I havent had a good look, but is really needed? Can I just remove it?

How does everyone else mount the w2a radiator?

Not on an AW but I've had problems getting the latch to work because of flex without that support.

I just shortened the hose obviously.

can i have some more pics of how you did that, dude? cheers!

Only one I've got I'm afraid, that's with 3/4 line. It wasn't hard!

It wasn't hard!

It never should be, when you're touching a car?

AW owners...

I have cut that bracket off mine, think it was just the bottom half. Didn't seem to do much and looks better without. And as my AW is actually Revhead's old one, then the pic above is as it was pre cut Man the frunk there looks tidy.
Haven't had issues with flex, or problem closing the bonnet or keeping it closed.

is that an a2a?? O_o

[flying_wedge]

... or maybe an aluminium radiator?
a2a in aw11 =
