Re: Pwr radiatorin but...

Still a bit confused... I can't place a fan cover on the SVX.
Are sure it is a SVX?

The first thing that I would do is to remove the bottom "bumpers/mounts" from the radiator support, (the big black rubber donuts)
and using a kitchen knife, shave the top 1/4" off of it.

Now the PWR sits lower.

I usually drill the mounting bracket hole out bigger,
(where the mounting bolts go)
so that I can slide the top mounts forward.

Lastly I bend the top mount in two places to give it more pressure on the radiator, and can change the angle of said radiator for more clearance.

I hope that helps.

My x-brother-in-law was from Alabama.

Think it was Baymonet. Not spelled right, but that is just me.
