Well, unless *both* of the radiators we have are wrong, Here's the way it is
put together:
Side view Front View ### - Welded Nut
| | |||||||||| I Bolt
shaft

Head
-##-| /|||||||||| | Radiator or
other

obstruction
WW | ----I-----------

| <- Front Frame -> ------------------------
------H------ |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The problem is that the bolts, unlike those on the TR-6, go into welded
on nuts in the radiator, not the frame. And they have to go in from underneath.
But the path from underneath is blocked by the front frame crossmember...
Solution: Drill a hole big enough to get an extension through @ point marked
'H'.
