I've heard it does, but i've also read from people installing it that they had to fabricate one. Anyone know for sure?

thanks!

Not one for the upper drivers side to connect to the body. The need for one there is debateable considering you have the fan shroud and a pretty hefty lower bracket. If you choose to make one, make sure it has plenty of flex.

We are getting a rubber mount for the top. All guys who already got the FMIC kit will get one for free also.

I think there is no need for one and a solid bracket may break the radiator, so we are getting a flex rubber mount.

I have been driving with my FMIC for a while, and no probs at all with only having the lower braket..

for those of you running it with out this bracket ( ive seen a local doing it , hes also running one fan)
i think your nuts and personaly i think the kit should of came with it originally.

the rad wiggles like 2 inches !!! and slaps around i could litterly stick 3 fingers in there . i belive MPsmuggler took a pic of it when we saw it at a meet. maybe i can get him to post it . its just asking for trouble ....i have a custom fmic the shop just took the old (stock) mount and made it work , it looks identical to the otherside and would only take a few minutes to do your selfs

no offense to anyone doing this or to high boost . but fuck that thats just shady

I'll bet anything it's installed wrong or an oddball because mine moves in the same range as the stock bracket. I'd just prefer the same amount of resistance if it should move outside the range it currently does.

Juan, making and delivering these should cost a few bucks. Hook it up(2thumbs)

i hope so , cuz his had major play .. had like 6 dudes staring at it saying wtf's the rad bracket. the stock mount has less then 1/4 inch of play thats all it needs with too much play its just sloshing around . and asking for trouble. didnt mean to offend you , but that would of been the first thing i did after install ( make some kind of bracket)
p.s. dont call me chicken

JUAN. MAKE BRACKETS. PLZ

yea shady . im glad every one is getting a free mount . they should - hence the free mount.
i think hi boost is a quality product especially for the money its hard to beat . but i bet if you put a little camera in a unmounted rad engine bay and take it threw some hard driving that suckers moving all over the place .

you cant seriusly tell me you wouldnt want your radiator mounted ... just seen one and it blew me away. hopefully heathen was right and it was just a fluke and im trippin for nothin
