Re: Hand crank
The bracket on top of the front crossmember has a pin on the bottom that is not in the center of the bracket.
When I restored my 29 roadster I couldn't understand why the crank wouldn't reach the engine as everything else lined up perfectly.
I had to replace the radiator a few years later and removed the bracket, turned it around, put it all back together and sure enough, the crank works perfectly.
Try it, I bet that's your trouble.
