Ebay radiator install with Sikaflex
Decided to install my ebay radiator since i'm waiting on other materials to finish my other jobs. Stock radiator served me well but am somewhat reluctant to keep it in service due to age of the end tanks. And these radiators are so cheap...

Not really happy with factory bracket and fit...

...so took some spare SS tubing which I rolled out.

Will need bit more ribs or reforcement, but it'll do for now

Finally found a use for that hardened Sikaflex. Used a series of hole saws on it to cutout a bushing for the bracket.

Bushing shape is retained and matches nicely with the bracket;

Now i need a new tube pf sikaflex so I can glue it on and let it rest cure for another 5+ years time.

What to do when you are in lock-down...lets remove the cam cover!
