YES PLEASE!! I cannot wait to see this!

I tried to get mine OUT the other day for a repair and simply gave up! The four rubber mounting brackets are IMPOSSIBLE to remove!! I ended up using Pratley's Steel instead for an in situ repair!! :shock:

Let's see what gets posted!

Cheers,

Don't muck about!
Order the radiator frame from the factory.
Will it fit on the 503 engine mount? If not order that too. Not going to be cheap, but it will be done right.
