Default Where are you getting the bar across the front when standing radiator straight up

Just like the title says. Just wondering if someone makes this or are you guys fabbing one up yourself. This might have already been asked but couldn't find anything with our awesome search feature. Thanks

So you didnt cut all the way through? Most of the ones I have been seeing have been square tubing. Just didn't know if people were custom making them or if someone made something ready to weld in.

Yea pics would be great. Thanks

And you guys who aren't cutting all the way through. Is the material thats left enough support or Moparnos you said something about adding some extra support. After you smoothed it all out it looks really good like that. Thanks

I just run the stainless steel flexible crap from summit. It has 3 size adapters, for it and you can bend it. I will go to AN the next time i drain the coolant, i just didn't want to spend the money at the time.

You need the hoses, and also need to get a little bung welded in the radiator, then connect the hose from the cross over pipe. It is to releaive pressure in the heads, and you need to hook this up, radiator doesn't have it. Take it to a guy that can weld alum, get a bung welded then get a fitting. I believe i did a 1/4 bung, with a 1/4 90 to a 1/4 barbded fitting, but i could be wrong. it was a while ago.
