I'm going to prop the radiator on today and get some measurements. I'll see what I come up with. Thanks, Joe |

Re: 8BA in a 35/36
Coopman, is that a Beach 18 in your Avatar???? I had a ride in one of them back in the early 50's from Miami to Key west, stopped at several places on the way to deliver news papers and other stuff. hen he too off he used both engines, then shut one down to an Idle. Not sure why I was in the plane/ I think my Harley broke down and I had to get back to the base??

Re: 8BA in a 35/36
Got no photos sorry, but what I did was use a couple of Flathead Jack's thermostat housings to suit the big radiator hose...cut each one parallel with the flange, about 5/8" up. This allowed me to 'orientate' each outlet to suit a straight length of hose [as original in 35], and TIG welded them back on. Still not perfectly in line [one side more so than the other], but I could use original 35 top hoses.
