Looking for a top mount intercooler from a T2, with mounts and piping would be a bonus. Can anyone chime in if they know if a T2 intercooler would fit under T1 bonnet? Since T2 has wider raised bonnet

I don't think it will fit under T1 bonnet, it's a pretty tight squeeze under a T2 bonnet as it is!

But your bigger issue is the radiator, they deliberately changed the design of the T2 radiator to move the filler neck out of the way of the intercooler.

See this post for info on radiator swaps.

Ahh thank you! Would be interesting to see if anyone has changed their T1 radiator to a T2 one and put the intercooler in too, if it fits under bonnet that is!
