Hey all,
Got a Summit/Northern 30" wide, 19.5" high, 26" core radiator:

and am wondering if anyone has used a similar 19.5" high radiator and if the Summit "Universal" brackets below fit fine. I'm sure I could use these as a basis, and they're cheap, and rig up the rest, but this should be a nice thread discussing how these popular radiators mount up to our core supports.
If I measure up from the base where the tie rod support comes in, the height is almost identical to the OEM radiator if that helps.

as an aside, if you use this fan Flex-a-lite 210 - Flex-a-lite Low Profile Electric Fans - Overview - SummitRacing.com with that radiator, you will have to cut the rubber gasket on the outer edge entirely off, or tuck it in. The shroud is 1/4" too wide for the core, but once the gasket is cut down the rest of it gives a good seal.
Yes, the battery is going to the trunk. I'm using their Taylor cables, 20', and a short ground in the trunk, and a Moroso NHRA approved battery box.
