The radiator and intercooler got delivered today from Hong Kong/China and I am quite happy with the quality of the fabrication, given that they cost 25% of what the couple of local fabrication shops quoted me. The dimensions I specified were matched well and the majority of the welds look relatively clean and only a tad messy in a couple of minor spots. I have to get some mounts for the thermofan welded on this week and I'll get the radiator pressure and leak tested at the same time.
One quite interesting thing to note is the design of the fins in the intercooler is that they are all are punched through - I assume to improve air flow over the fins and therefore increasing the rate at which it releases heat. The factory intercooler on my other turbo car doesn't even have this - only flat fins
Here's a few pics with the radiator and intercooler in-situ. I'll make the mounts soon.
