I am working on mounting my radiator on my WD-9. I constructed 1.5” OD X 0.25” thick rubber mounting pads to go between the bottom of the radiator and chassis. When I get everything mounted and back together, the radiator appears to be sitting too high based on the alignment of the upper radiator hose. The main issue is that the lower fan blade hits the fan shroud. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, what have you done to work through the issue? If I removed the rubber mounts and go directly metal-to-metal, which is not ideal for a radiator mounting setup, I believe I would have clearance.
