It"s a nice day here. Supposed to hit 60 or so.
Anyhow, my radiator on my "48 8N is a new almost fits right and the filler neck rubs the hole in the hood for it to fit through and the cap, once in place, rubs the hood enought to: 1). not seal and...2). defotm the filler neck.
My fix is to shim up radiator with thicker rubber to raise it for cap/hood clearance.
Shorten top radiator hose to tilt neck for clearance in hood.
Is there any problem with doing these two things I haven"t caught? Is there a better way?
thanks.
