I bought a direct fit replacement radiator, electric fan and mount. Well the fan mount didn't have enough adjustment to reach the shroud attachment. Made extensions and riveted them into place. I go to put the radiator in place and it will not sit low enough. I have trimmed the rubbers in the brackets which helped but I still have every bit of a half inch as seen in pic. Only thing I can think of is extending the top bracket? Would be easy enough but anyone know how close the hood is to the top of the radiator?
How is it that I always get the crap that does not fit. I am spitting nails right now. Will have to pull everything back out to get a coat of paint or two on it. It's looking good, but I am not satisfied yet and worried about hood clearance.
