Re: TT build
Wood block for steering box installed, no problem!
The radiator, sheesh. The frame had a couple of bolts in the frame for mounting the radiator. They fed through the bottom and would not be easy to remove, so I decided to leave them in place and use them to bolt down the lower cover, radiator, and shroud. Big mistake, they were too short. I wrestled with all the parts and pieces including the radiator hose and top support rod from the firewall to the top of the radiator. What an aggravation. After two hours of trying to figure the problem out I removed everything and got a couple of studs from another radiator removal. The correct studs are 1 1/2" longer than the bolts shown. Using the correct studs the installation took about 15 minutes.
Hopefully I will find time tomorrow to add coolant and fire her up!
