It worked for the quad,the buggy you propose is the same weight as the donor quad ,so, I presume there's no need to go larger especially with the front mount.

I understand saving money, but if the smaller doesn't work.... *It could be a PITA to switch to a larger one....

I guess I could make the bars it mounts to far enough apart for a bigger rad and just make bracket extensions to fit the smaller rad. *If I need bigger then I just need to swap brackets.

Talking Re: Front mount rad questions

one thing ive noticed no-one mentioned was a grill to keep branches out of the radiator.no trails and in a forrest is just asking for branch damage. maybe get a grill out of a new, well bbq grill. if you can find a grill about the size of your radiator, it would be perfect! it would look good, i think they come chrome plated. besides, just imagine the look on peoples faces when ya walk into the store with a radiator and start setting it into grills to see if it will fit!

If you bolt the grill on the front you could also use it to BBQ when you get wer you are going.
