[Tigers] Dale's radiator

[cars at wt-inc.com]

Mine was very tight to the fan but even more so to the inspection plates on
the steering rack.  I ended up grinding the lower edge of the inspection
plates to an angle and then had the bolts converted to flush head.  This
gave me adequate clearance.  I don't remember doing anything special for the
clearance to the water pump and fan.

I also took the opportunity to build a custom shroud (enclosed fully) since
the old shroud would not fit.  Like you said the radiator is thicker than
stock.

Good luck, they are great radiators.  Also, have you asked Dale.  He is
great with help installing anything you purchased from him, at least in my
experience.

Does anyone have some advice on installing Dale's aluminum rad?
The stock rad fits fine with about 1/2" clearance to the fan.
Dale's rad is thicker and hence is closer to the fan - VERY tight.
My engine mounts are new and installed correctly.
I'm curious what others have done.

thanks,

Paul
