I'm building my roadster (complete kit with the FFR radiator provided), and I am about to install the Breeze radiator mounting hinge. I notice in the standard installation instructions from FFR, the radiator is to be off center by 5/8". With the Breeze instructions, it seems they are directing me to center the radiator.
Has anyone installed the hinge recently with success that can clarify what works or doesn't?
Thanks!
Ben

I had a similar question when I installed mine, and ended up aligning it so that I could reach the intake port of the radiator without any problems (putting on the hose and handling the clamps with no interference. That has worked for me. I did have to grind some of the tow hook away so that the radiator hose wouldn't hit it, but that may have happened anyway.
I also took out the radiator aluminum side pieces and checked to see how they would fit if I were to move my radiator one way or the other.
