Its Radiator Origami Time - Yay!
(takes two to play)

After removing all vital fluids from the cooling system pop the hood and prop up the front end of the car

The RMC supplied radiator is wider than the mouth of the Cobra and there is not enough room to drop it down between the frame rails.

Get your friend (for now) to unbolt the radiator and slide the forward section up into the top of the nose

Lift the back of the radiator up over the front cross member and lift the radiator out through the hood.

Use a #5 Block splitter to render the radiator inoperable

Measure for a new Upright radiator and place order.

In 3-5 days - after you make up a couple of simple brackets - your cooling problems will have ceased

you have a nice upright radiator like this:


and you wont get a repeat of this...

seriously cooked

mmmmmm
