RE: Badger 5 t-bodies

Hi

Just played around with my setup yesterday and I found out, that if
I tilt the radiator backwards and install the front of the radiator
against the front of the car, then it should be possible to tilt it
backwards enough to get the needed space between the radiator and
"landing panel" that I can mount cool air intake to there.

If I'll find suitable water hose then I'll try it and see if it works
as I thought it should work and see if I don't run into cooling
problemas as the radiator has a bit poor position then.

Lauri!
