Default radiator mount help

Hi all, I've just made my radiator mounts and then started to worry if it was a bit too tall and whether it would fit under the nose cone. It stands approx 150mm taller than the top of the front frame and 150mm forward of the front edge of the top of the front frame. can anyone who has a nose cone on and who has a spare 5 minutes tell me if i need to change these mounts?

thanks

Ben

thanks for that, i'm using a polo radiator too so I'll leave it for now then might change it when i get a nose cone but it sounds like it'll fit fine.

(just trying to mount the tank you made, it looks the business i'm very happy with it)
