Re: Z'd frame/steering box

I had no problem with the steering box but I only Zd 3". I did have a problem with my 4 core radiator so I used a 2 core out of a 79. It hit the lower part of the radiator where the hose goes on.

Re: Z'd frame/steering box

so the radiator you got out of the 79' hit, or your old radiator hit? we z'd the front frame horns this last weekend, and the outlet on our rad hits.....so we're in the mists of look'n for a new one......
