Windshield Mounts

[JetMech727]

Now, any suggestions and pictures on how to mount the fiberglass radiator shell?

Don't know what radiator & shell you are using but here's how I did mine. My radiator & shell are both Speedway. On my radiator I had to weld 2 extra tabs on for shell mounting and then on the shell I cut the bottom off. I also thinned the shell out bout even with tank thikness. Once that was done I then cut my radiator neck hole and then the side mount holes. The shell sides I cut just shy of rubbing on the radiator mount tab bolts. Front i cut bout even with top of bottom tank.

I like the planning you did to make sure you got the max out of the electric fan !

Mine ended up being 40" wide. I bout a 3/4" x 6" board at Lowe's and used that as a guide while setting my windshield posts like mech727. Then called CCR and had my frame built.

Good job on the post mounts cooter!

You were correct. They cross threaded the screw. Fortunately it was softer than the threads in the frame. I ran a bottoming tap through it and installed a new screw. Frame is usable now and good as new as far as that goes. Don't know if i can buff all the scratches out of the chrome though. What happened to people providing good service these days? I seem to run into more & more people these day's that have no ethics and don't know their trade. Or worse yet, just don't give a s#$t! Sorry for the rant.

I think allot of guys just polish up those rads and go without the shell. I had to put a pusher fan on mine because I didn't have the clearance so I am making a custom shell.
