NA metal coolant pipe and rad question
Discussion
2 questions if anyone can help.
The lower rad pipe connects to a short metal pipe. This has a bracket with two holes on it implying it is meant to be fixed to something but mine was just hanging on the rubber pipes. I can see a bracket in roughly the right area under the air box but that doesn’t seem to orientate the pipe how I would expect. Can anyone show or explain how this should be fixed?
Question 2. I appear to have a hood oe radiator but the bobbins that locate the bottom corners are missing. Can these be bought separately? I cannot seem to find any and it would be a shame to have to buy a whole new rad just for those.

As for the pipe it may have bolted somewhere and the bolt has sheared off from corrosion.
Can't quite remember.
A picture may help.

Brilliant, that’s the one. Thanks. I’ll order that though I need to find the right circlips too. Next challenge. https://www.autolinkmx5.com/radiator-mounting-peg-...

Pic of the pipe below.
There is a bracket here and the hole positions seem right so it has to relate to this right but if I attach the pipe to that it puts the hose ends in some strange positions.
think its this one that bolts under the airbox area on the inner wing?

Yep. Definitely that one but the question is how it mounts. The only sensible way to mount it seems to have the 90 degree bend toward the front of the car pointing down just behind the ARB. I think the coolant hose would then have to route under the ARB to the rad bottom outlet. That isn't how anything was routed in my car when I took this off but maybe that is how it should be. https://www.autolinkmx5.com/pipe-bottom-hose-link-...
