The radiator core is mounted in a frame, made L brackets.

The center photo just above the lower radiator hose you can see where I used a stud and nut. Had some interference to over come with the tank and hose connection. Bottom picture you can see the button head about 2 inches down from the top of the shroud.

To locate the screws for the shroud to the brackets. I screwed the brackets on the frame, without shroud screw mounting holes . Then marked the shroud where all 4 brackets were. With the shroud clamped in place, drilled 4 pilot holes, through the shroud and bracket. Then remove the shroud. Open the holes in the shroud for the screws, removing 1 bracket at a time, drilled and taped the bracket replaced the bracket. Working on 1 at a time so the fit for each hole and bracket would be dialed in .......... bolts right on as they say ........ only when planed

Let me know if this made sense..

Looks great, works great!! Great job!!

Super good looker too. It remineds me,I need to do one again for my old rod,lost what I had before from just too many years of leving the rod in parts.
I like the way ya did it!

These compliments from folks for whom I have high regards for are very much appreciated.

Considering the skill levels of the posters it is humbling .......

Thank you
