 Radiator installation

radiator fan
I wanted to install my EFI throttle body but it turns out those new Cobra value covers sit a little higher and so I need to find a spacer to raise the  throttle body up a half inch.  Found one at summitracing.com for about 50 bucks.

 I moved on to the radiator installation. The fan assembly mounted right into the shroud easily.

radiator in frame
It fit into place on the frame just like the manual says but you do have to shift it over to the left to be sure there is room for the upper radiator hose.

I am using a bucket to hold the bottom until  I can put some tie wraps on it.

I also decided on another upgrade. A new radiator cap.  It set me back 6 bucks.  I just blew my build budget!


upper radiator hose
I decided to replace the upper radiator hose and saw pictures on the forum how others installed the  radiator filler option.

The belt is off because I am cutting that big A/C bracket down to size.

I was thinking  that maybe I should include time I spend on this web site in my build time.  Total hours so far:  453 hours.  It is pretty bad if one spends more time on a website then on the Roadster.   :-)
