Half Size Radiator Mod

Half Size Radiator Mod
Ok so I did some research and attempted the install
It looks good but here are some of the issues I ran into
1 - Need to drill a hole on top support for the radiator mount holder
2 - The bottom does not line up at all it kinda sits in the middle of the bottom support.
3 - The lower rad hose hits the motor mount support
so my plans are to build a custom support with a plastic board that is 14"x2"x1" this will hold the radiator above the front motor mount and I will drill a hole in the middle with a bolt so I can place it on the support so it lines up
I did the civic half size radiator, I just think it is ridiculous to pay $270 for a aluminum half size radiator yes it fits factory, but with some elbow grease with this current one I still save half the cost for other mods.
Or if anyone has done this what suggestions do you have for me?
