>>Bob Schaller, in his "More BS About TR's" shows a method of bolting down
the radiator that allows easier removal. He inserts a thinner bolt (5/16NF)
from the bottom and fastens it in place with a thin jam nut (Iwelded mine in
place). Then you can drop the radiator over it and put a nut on top to hold
it down.<<
Randall:
Interesting idea. I may try it. BTW on the radiator brackets that have the
captive nuts in which the bolts must be inserted, there are also two
additional holes, one on either side, sans captive nuts. Is this a provision
for another radiator position in which case one would not use the captive nut
position?
