Radiator Mounts

[iDemonix]

Does anyone have a pic of the left hand side (as your sat on the bike) of the upper radiator?

I'm refitting my rads and not sure how the upper rad mounts as I removed it about 5 months ago. Is the lower mount meant to bolt to the bracket that holds the coil?

Also: For the lower rad, there's a mount that bolts to the engine, held on with an 8mm bolt. The 8mm bolt is round as hell on my old engine and the bracket is rusty, does anyone have a spare I could buy?

Is that the wide bracket at the top of the rad, or the little one that the long stay fits to? I got the latter two from GF for a fiver each, nicely cleaned up and powder coated. Still listed on his site, so as it was probably a couple of months ago, I guess he has more in stock. He doesn't have the wider one listed, but he quite often seems to have stuff not on the site. If all else fails, it can still be ordered from Honda, http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/part ... 134MR8000/

I'm not sure how the RVF and VFR compare in this respect, but I'm pretty sure on the RVF the upper rad is held in place by either a bolt or grommet that is located on the coil bracket.

On the bottom of the lower rad, there's that really long stay thing, one end attaches to the radiator and the other end attaches to the bracket on the engine that I need, is that part on DSS the right part I'm after?

Also, it looks like the rad does bolt to that bracket somehow but can't seem to align it properly, especially with all the cables and pipes that run over the top of the rad, if anyone has a pic I'd be grateful!

No, the little bracket with the very long arm is the one Graeme France has. The one at DSS is the one the top of the bottom rad attaches to. I'm slightly confused as the RVF fiche shows the long arm and little bracket, but the VFR fiche only shows the arm. However, it's the fiche for the UK model with the oil cooler and it's hard to see where that goes, so maybe there's a common bracket. GF's website lists the little bracket as being RVF and VFR, so I guess it's needed at the very least for the Japan spec VFR.
