Fitting Renegade's Front Aluminum Housing

[1rad55]

I'm in the process of test fitting RH radiator housing and I have a few questions for those of you that have installed a RH LS conversion in a early 911 (mine is a 1988 Carrera).
1) does the front lip go over or under the locking mechanism blk moulding

2) where does this 90 degree brace attach to the housing? I assume it supports the radiator in the back or front?

3) what angle/degree is their radiator mounted with their dual electric fans?

4) anyone have pictures of how they cut out the front of the body for screened air intake?

Thanks in advance for your input as we all know that no instructions are included. Also I was unable to load pictures

I’m sure Travis or Scott could answer these questions. They do have photos available. I have done several rh installs, but I never took any photos. But 15years ago or so Scott/owner of rh, sent me photos with instructions of the install.

Hey, this is kind of a late reply, but I figured I would give as much info as I can. At this point, I am assuming you may have completed this by now.

I am currently installing the RH Fuel Cell and Radiator in my 1979 911SC. My application is slightly different because I am fitting a turbo Subaru 4 cylinder into this car. I am also 3D printing a lot of custom brackets to secure the radiator in place.


1) Unfortunately, I do not have an answer for this one as my car currently has no mouldings at all.

2) I am using this 90-degree brace as the bottom mount. Initially, I was going to weld it in the car, but I have switched directions and am attempting to make it a "bolt-on" piece.

3) My radiator will be mounted 30 degrees up from horizontal. I would have preferred to get more angle for the "ram-air" effect, but with a radiator this large, I am not expecting too many issues to cool a 4-cylinder. I am also assuming this is the reason why the fans are biased upwards on the radiator, where it's less likely for driving air to be pushed through.

4) I don't have a picture right now, but I ended up cutting out a 4.5-5 inch tall rectangle in between the seams where both inner fender skins join the front of the car.


I am attaching a screenshot from a video I took to show roughly what I am doing. I am using the red 3D printed brackets to secure the top of the radiator to the top of the fuel cell. I cut too big of a hole in the front so I will be bending the sheet metal back and stitching it up a bit after the radiator and ducting is mounted.

Not sure if you use Instagram at all, but I usually post the work I do there @peetsadrives
