these rivets get replaced with the screws/washers

On the top side you are attaching the blocks to those long screws as you put them in. Don't tighten anything ofcourse so that you can wiggle everything around later on final tight.

My second issue was the hose 90deg elbows point 180deg the wrong way, up instead of down. So, what you do is take your vise grips and loosely get a grip on the hose clamp so it will not turn, with your hand you can wrench the elbow to the correct orientation, pointing down!

Now you attach the hoses to the top(loosely) with the long hose behind the short hose. You then slide the hoses into the radiator area, and set it down on the mounting blocks. Attach screws loosely.

Go back up top and 25Ft lb torque the 27mm bolt. Keeping everything pointed properly.

Tighten the oil hose lines up top. Start zip tying the lines from top to bottom. The directions say to do this last, but I prefer to do it now that way the hoses are easier to move around. The lines go on the outside of the washer fluid as you see in pic.

Now you tighten all the mounting hardware for the cooler.
Now use the wrenches to tighten the hose fittings. Use your thumbs as you tighten each to push the hard line of the elbows to face the radiator the best you can as you snug up the lines. This prevents the hoses from touching the bumper frame.

Back up top . Install your oil filter, then add the quart of oil.

Follow directions on leak checks and starting procedure.
Then Put your bumper back on.. rock n roll --
The finished, although Dirty project. I had bought some black VHT paint to cover the silver. Should have used it, I don't like the silver look. Next Time bumper is off will paint it. Hope this helps!

Notice anything different at all? Do u track your car? I've been thinking about this same kit for a while.

Use Eastwood radiator paint, and do 2 or 3 coats. It is designed for this type of application and heat. I painted mine day one.

Great DIY. So much easier on a stock car.

It keeps oil temps at 175 to 195F all the time compared to stock 195 to 230F for street driving.
