anyone got a spare set for a 4th gen i could certainly look into it. I could do all the pieces on one cad file and get them all cut at once so it shouldnt cost any more to do that way just a bit more time drawing them out

just had a look and from what i can see the 4g look different, if anyone has a set of 4g brackets going cheap then i`l grab a set and draw something up for those aswell

Could be up for that (5th gen)

4th and 5th gen brackets are definitely different. I've got some 4th gen ones removed at the moment, so I can measure up the centres and hole diameters for you. They are however stepped by about 12mm as well, so a flat profile wouldn't do... You'd need to fold them. I don't know if you'd accounted for that?

FYI as well 4th genners, S2000, DC2 and EK Civic alloy rad brackets (ie the Tegiwa ones) should fit a 4th gen, but obviously only pick up on one slam panel fixing hole each, and you also need to relocate your bonnet prop.

yup the 5th gens are the same and step up aswell, Im interested to see if the 4th and 5th gens are interchangable as although the shape is different the mounting points look the same so it may be possible to make a 1 fits all solution. I was also going to make provisions for the bonnet prop mount aswell

If you measure the hole centres and rise on your 5th gen mounts Secia, I can compare them to the 4th gen ones I have. Maybe subtly slotted holes for the fixing would work, but it all depends on the reach. Rise could be negotiable.
