TD1 conversion - cutting the rad surround

Hi all. I'm finally picking up a discovery 200tdi engine next week to convert the existing 2.5N/A.
The conversion has been covered many times of course, but all the threads I've looked at describe cutting the chassis to lower the radiator height. I have a galvanised Richards chassis, which is supposed to be suitable for the 2.5 and 200tdi and don't want to cut it.
The engine does not come with a rad, so I'll have to buy a new rad frame/radiator/intercooler.
My question is, if I buy a new radiator frame for a defender, will I be able to avoid cutting the chassis?

Yes. The rad is the same just a different frame so if you get a defender frame (good luck) you're in business. Also, you can reduce the height of the brackets on the bottom of the disco frame.

Brill, thanks Discokids. YRM are now selling new alloy frames at a reasonable cost.

The two brackets are a different height on a 2.5 to compared to a tdi.Tthe actual frame dimensions are the same for defenders and discoverys it's the top bracket positioning that differs.

I can see that the top brackets are completely different - I was going to buy a new set from Yrm.
