e36 radiator problems

Post Mon Sep 05, 2005 1:44 am

Hi,

Putting an e36 rad in as part of the m50 swap.

Couple of questions..

How can i mount it as the e30 passenger side mount sits too high and sticks out too far.
Someone suggested using two of the smaller e30 mounts from the drivers side.

Electric fan, got a e34 air con fan. hows the easiest way to mount the fan in front of the rad?

Cheers.

read through the m50 developments thread the e36 rad mounting was mentioned there.

"use an e36 325 one instead. Very Happy you need to remove the n/s radiator mount and use 2 o/s ones instead.it just clips in as if bmw must have known"

Has anyone got the part number as i dont want to order the wrong part. Cheers.

For fan mount, remove the plastic duct from in front the rad, and position the E34 fan assembly so that you can bolt one of therubber mount blocks half way up the metal frame in front the rad on the left looking in from the front.
Other two rubber blocks will then need two small angled brackets, one bolted to the bottom rail, and one to the slam panel.
