Default Re: aluminum radiators

!!!!! Sharp eyed readers might note that the radiator is bolted to the FRONT of the U shaped radiator support not the back side. This gives me another 1/2" of clearance right up to the flexolite fan recomendation of 1". It bothered me that the radiator would be hanging off the weld capturing the captured nuts, which is structurally backwards, but I came up with the idea of using a bolt 1/2" longer than Henry's and I'll put a nylock nut on the radiator side. Perhaps even an upgrade. Kind of like those guys that wear a belt AND suspenders!
