RE: Lower radiator hose rub issue.

[Barrie Robinson <barrier@bconnex.net>]

Blast you fellows, you are far too fast!  Just when I had an answer to 
someone's problem you get there before me.  Just shows you how damn 
responsive this list is.  What would we do without it !!

Incidentally, I have used chromed plumbing type pipes for all sorts on 
applications - including stand-offs for the radiator.  And a Pampers box 
makes an excellent rain shield for the horns (nothing worse than a wet horn!)
