Rad mounts take one……. 30x30 box with a 15mm hole, the rubber shock mount can then be squeezed in with a little help from a flat head screwdriver, After this I found the rad sat a little too high for my liking so I drilled holes in the spacer plate shown below a the same size then put the shockers in there
Welded in the spacer plate but its been put in so I can revert at a later date if needed
Shiny aluminium race radiator
Bonnet up ready to go in!
Rad in and 99% plumbed, just need one on the top pipes that run next to the plenum
This is the gap between bonnet and new panel position
Heres the front view, the slam panel needs raising up a little and now I can see the gap I can also extend it backwards too.
The bonnet currently sits on the rad cap but it wont do after I finish with the modifications, there will then be a 3/4 gap between wing top and bonnet base so I'll be filling that in by making up a ventilated panel to allow more air into the engine bay
