lakecitydan Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Ok here's the story on the radiator, NOW we all agree its NOT the best placement, but its almost a foot from the top and 16.5 inches from the back of the seats. I have been told by some reliable sources that this should be no problemo. Wow the picture makes the radiator look like its only 2" from the top.I would think a high class published photographer could take a pic that would show us the almost 12" clearance(if its there),then we wouldn't be having all these radiator comments.

sand chick Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) I made him take some much needed time off today to relax!! So now he was able to focus on the rail better!! <<<< Yep thats a smile!! After relaxing and taking our minds off of the build for a while, we came back and changed the location of the radiator cause Bob was never happy where it was in the first place!! We did some measuring and we were able to lower it. Now we just have to get a bend for the air filter, which he also was going to do anyway!
