[Spridgets] Frame Bend - Reference to Radiator

[Jim Johnson]

Kirk,

Why bend the frame then? It would be much easier to just bend the radiator
brackets. Then there is the question about the fan hitting the rad if it is
tipped back isn't there?  Where is the bend point? Ahead or behind the
engine mounts?

Cheers!!
Jim
