Waste of money time & effort
My project for today was to pull my radiator so that I could fit my newly cleaned and painted fan shroud that I bought from hart-rod, and while the rad was out it to would get a good clean and paint. After all the work cleaning sanding and painting it was time to fit but the shroud fixing points would not line up with the rad supports...WTF? it's a bb fan shroud and I assumed naturally that I had a bb radiator on my bb truck but on closer inspection I think it's not the right size rad (see pics)
My radiator measures 31 1/2" is this a bb radiator size? what is the correct size if not? So now I have to put the radiator back minus my new shroud but at least this will look better after the restore...."dream on" it leaked like a poxy sive from the bottom it seems cleaning all the gunk off and jet washing has opened up a weak spot somewere. I could get it soldered over here but if it's the wrong size anyway what would be the point? I took a load of before and after shots to post on here this evening of a productive day on my baby...B*****ks
