Joel. I probable could, with a bit more engineering, position the radiator at an angle but I would then have clearance issue with the underside fibreglass. I'm a least confident it's better placed now than when it was in the engine bay. I'm learning that I have to live with compromises if I ever want to get it finished.
I think by their very nature these one-off projects are created by 'muddling through' rather than any real detailed drawing board design.
With the radiator re-installed I had to cut the spout off the thermostat housing and weld it at a new angle.
I triple checked all the hose clamps and felt confident as I started pouring the coolant into the system. Suddenly the floor started to turn green.. Bugger!
I soon realised I had only tacked the spout to the housing so I could perform a trial fit. I must have become diverted on some other aspect and forgot to remove and finish weld the housing... D'oh!
PS. Spare us all the Lorena Bobbitt jokes
