I have purchased a stainless steel hinge for upper radiator mount. I have also fabricated a lower radiator mount but need some more information as to how the upper hinge mount attach's to radiator. Do you run a longer bolt through both radiator flanges and hinge for better support and to install fan shroud or install fan shroud separately? I hope I have explained myself clearly. I should have taken some pics :( .

Thanks Kie

If I remember correctly, the radiator mounts to the piano hinge via rivets. Hinge mounts to the 3/4” tube via nutserts or bolts that go all the way through. Fan shroud mounts via bolts to the upper and lower radiator flange.

OK that answers my question I thought that it would bolt to hinge instead of rivets maybe it's just preference. I'll finish laying it out tomorrow and decide. Thanks
