Re: Lower radiator hose rub issue.

[Barrie Robinson <barrier@bconnex.net>]

I too am using D&D's radiator and swivel oil filter.  But I canted my rad 
forward at the top to give room to put in a 2,950 cfm Perma-Cool which 
needed 3 3/4 inches.  So the bottom moved in closer to the engine.  Now the 
filter and rad are very very close to each other at the bottom and 
touch.  There seems to be no room to make Jim Stuart's mod.  I am wondering 
if I should somehow fix them together so there is no rubbing.  Or maybe fix 
a slippy plate (teflon) in between.  The former seems the best idea.  If 
Dan Lagrou  canted the outlet slightly to one side it may help. Anyone 
going to call him ???(he's not on the "'net" is he?)
