Part 1

Well. I made a bracket for the water pump. I've got to say, it was a real pain in the d1ck to make. It took about 12 hours of paper cutting, welding, grinding and painting to produce the bolt on portion to the car. I have the Part 2 pictures but the photos have not sync with my photo share for some reason. I'll post those later.

Not entirely sure what to say other than it really was labor intensive to make an angled bracket. My buddy with the G8 said he used aluminum and bent the metal. Not sure I would recommend my method to anyone, although I like the result.

Looks like I may have to swap the -20 straight connect on the pump to a 90 or possible a 180. The hose either needs to run at the top of the bar or at the bottom. I think I'm going to try getting the hose lined up at the base of the V on the radiator. I think I made up my mind while typing the last sentence out. That's not a great approach while buying 30 dollar connecters btw. There's two -16 connectors I haven't used and I groan every time I see them. I'll try to find a use for them later.
