> Wondering about other solutions for this awkward nut/bolt location.
There have been several solutions mentioned. Bob Schaller wrote in "More BS
about TRs" about replacing the large bolt with a smaller one that stays
fixed to the frame (with a nut & washers) and the radiator slides down over
it.
I found that I was able to get in there with a 1/4" drive 'wobble' extension
on my 56:

but the 59 had socket-head cap screws that could be turned with a 'wobble'
Allen wrench:

I knew the frame flexed quite a bit, and was worried that it would flex more
with my sway bars, wide tires, etc.; so the SHCS also included springs under
the head, so the radiator would not be twisted when the frame flexed.
Probably irrelevant, but that's what I did.
