Remove the two inlet bolts at the block. Then remove the lower hose clamp closet to the radiator then you will be able to remove everything making it easier to reinstall. No need to struggle with lower hose later.

I bought a heavy duty 8 fins per inch , 30-31 radiator from Smith & Jones model A parts in Columbia south Carolina . It cools my roadster good and fits perfectly . All and all It is one of the best radiators that I've ever used .

Take the shell off first, makes an easy job to get to the mounting bolts. You will have to pull back the lacing but it only 2 bolts on each side.

With the Help of Vic in E-TN we got the old radiator out and the new one installed in a couple hours. It's cooling well. The radiator seems a little shorter than the original, but we were able to get it in.
