Nosecone / Radiator Clearance?
Gents
How much room is there between the top of the top chassis rail and the nose cone? Just want to finalise my radiator position, and would be helpful if I could put the top hose above the top chassis rail, meaning the radiator would need to be about 6cm above the top of the chassis. Cheers Adrian

Hi Adrian,
having the top of the rad 6cm above the chassis rail will fine, there is loads of room available, if you wish i can get the actual measurement for you later & post it up. cheers andy Last edited by HandyAndy : 19th November 2009 at 09:52 AM.

i have got about 1-2mm between the top corners of my rad and the top of my nose cone. gingepom made me some little spacers out of aly tuesday night just to shift the top forward a few mm to make the bottom rad hose go on easier.
