929 radiator on F4/F4i?
I've heard you can do this as the only difference between the 2 is the bottom mounting bracket. if this is wrong, dont start flamin, because this is what i heard.
Has anyone actually done it? and if so, what mods do i have to make?

Yes, I've done it and it'll work fine. The bottom rad hose is just barely long enough, I'd suggest getting one that is a little bit longer. Also, the bottom bracket works but you need to bend the bracket the opposite direction. All I did was snip the corners and bent the bracket backwards to make it work.

The stock bottom bracket is junk anyways, just make one out of a piece of steel stock, way stronger, and you can bend it wherever you need
And on the radiator house, my left side hose wouldn't make it, so in a pinch, I had an alumnium pipe laying around that was the same size, so I cut a 6" piece and spliced it in the middle of the hose

oo **** i JUST did that today and here is how it went...... PAIN IN THE ***!
f4i fans dont fit so i wouldnt recommend that, then ALL the hoses line up except that the hoses on the left side, the one that goes into the water pump is a little short for that radiator. besides that, the only other difference is that tab on bottom doesnt line up with the holder thing coming from the engine case.
but if you have the 929 fan and a little extra hose to mess with then go for it but dont use 929 radiators as quick replacements at the lot!

btw when I tried the 929 fan, it didn't fit either.. It hit the engine before the radiator was lined up with the top bolt holes
I used my f4i radiator, and had to zip tie it on instead of using all the mounting tabs
