    I think HD sells sheet metal / aluminum, i buy sticks of aluminum to make custom brackets from them. I wanna say it's next to the rods. Call up so you don't waste a trip...

    ok so the H22 is a pretty big motor. Now the reg. Teg runs a full size radiator. However, on my GSR equipped hatch i run a double core OEM like B16 radiator. Looks just like a civic one (1/2 size) but thicker (twice as thick as a stock civic, from the looks of it) which allows me to run OEM a/c still.

    There is a reason Honda put a full size radiator for the Teg but i somewhat compromised using the delsol B16. Haven't had any overheating issues yet.

    Also are you running?
    1. Half size civic radiator that is triple core
    2. Autozone branded slim fan

    If #1, maybe the triple core is not big enough, for a beastly H22. Or maybe, switch to full aluminum (they may cool more efficiently, not sure)
    If #2 is true, maybe the fan is not performing as advertised. Try another brand. From my experience, i get what i pay for most of the time. Start with the least expensive solution and go from there.

    When does it overheat? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try if you have both already.
