Ross:
Thanks for the reply.
Really shouldn't have sent that e-mail; I was tired and a little frustrated.
No one to commiserate with here, no roadster buddies, even wife on the
mainland at this
time and my dog, who tries to help, doesn't really understand my frustrations.
Everything looked a lot better in the light of a new day.
Got the recored rad--hope it works as good as it looks!

5 main, metric, but I think I answered all the bolt questions today. Got a
replacement metric bolt, and a tap to chase the tapped hole in the block (which
I've
done).

Won't know that until tomorrow probably, but I am encouraged by the fact that
it is about 3" longer than the last one.

Glad you didn't dignify that dumb question with an answer. By the time I
finally got that cap screw out, I had been so long at it that I forgot that
there were TWO
studs, not one remaining, so it had to "coaxed" from both sides. (Coaxed,
hell, I pounded two large screwdrivers between the spacer and the pump, and
ended up using
a "crow bar"!) I had simply forgotten that it wasn't a simple matter :-).

Good point! thanks
Probably finish tomorrow and go to the beach. (That statement is almost sure
to get me in trouble!!)
