rear mount is different
shroud mount different

you can easily make some 88-04 work
here is what i did on my 86, took some oversize 88 up.





the right 88 up being hair shorter was nice, becasue every old kx i have had or seen has the pipe rubbing the radiator.
i had to move the middle tab to rear, and make new shroud mount. the water ports all worked perfect. for water pump feed line just used 88 up lower hose.
some more pics if you need

Hi thanks for your help. those rads are nice 

could i use the 86 ones if i got just the mount cut a welded to opposite side of each rad?
an iam a bit strapped for cash at the moment. and i can get 2 mint 86 rads for 50 uk pounds.


Thanks

heres a couple of pics, they dont do them justice they are better in the flesh. the only defect is on the second pic, there is a little kink in one of the veins around the middle of the rad. these do not leak as i used them on my bike. if you like what you let me know and i will give them a wipe over and take some better pics tomorrow
best regards
