Default EG Radiator into EF Civic (aftermarket Radiator)

Ok guys, I have searched, I went to passwordjdm.com and they didn't have the crossmember thing. I need to know if there is a good write up about putting an eg civic radiator into an ef civic chassis. I have a 3 core aftermarket eg style radiator, and the fan for it too. I really need some info on how to do this, I've been putting it off for months. My stock radiator cracked today so I would really like some good info on how to do this. I cannot weld anything, so I would like info on doing it without welding! < I know it sounds bad, but I really need the help anything will be appreciated as long as you're not bashing me.

Innovative mounts makes a front cross member that has the bottom mounts for and eg half sized radiator. Everything is bolt in but there about 240 dollars... they also make the top radiator mount that is meant to be used with the front cross member and eg radiator. check out the links...

Thanks guys. I put it in today. I used a rotary tool and cut out a section of the radiator support bracket and custom made an upper mount to get it in. I think I might do a write up on it and post it on HT for anyone who doesn't want that crossmember and who wants the eg radiator. The way I put it in it looks really cool too. I was also able to use the stock radiator fan out of an EG hatchback. The radiator is from ssautochrome.com, when I went to put it in it sat about 2 inches too tall. I'm very happy with myself right now! I think I'll do the write up some time this week!

I will get some pictures and when I get everything put together I'll put a link to it in this thread! The only specialty tool you'll need is a Plug in (battery powered ones will die quickly) Rotary Tool, my local autozone had one on sale for $20!

Ok guys, sorry I know it's been a few days. I've been helping my girlfriends family move. I've got almost all the pictures together and I will hopefully have everything written and put together by the weekend.
