This is indeed a bit of a hack. It may suffice ??

I am going to get a couple of thousand miles on my Coupe and re-review, for the very last time (Hah!) little bits like this that I have in my list of things that I am not quite comfortable with. Maybe even sooner as I run through the break-in / bed-in checklist

Things like this fall into my vibration category. What I mean is if the radiator shakes, rattles and rolls, items like this will fail. If everything is tight (but not TOO tight), maybe this hack works :-)

You are doing some fine work here - it is nice to follow this thread!

p.s. All my work likely falls into the inelegant category :-)
