1970 Duster project in Sweden
More. Note the small radiuses for the radiator hoses. In the previous pix, you can see the build up of JB weld that was carved out for the radiator hoses and tubes to fit the JB weld glue joint on the steel strips is the primary bond joint, the aluminum solid rivets are large head countersink rivets PN# MS20426AD4-(?) rivets. Secondary attachment. The question mark is for length. This rivet is a #4 diameter or #30 drill hole. 100° countersink. I countersunk them slightly deeper than flush to putty over them to hide them. The beauty of this is it can be done for little money compared to a repop, makes for a nice project. Most people would never know the difference anyways
I used an 18" flexalite clutch fan with a 1990 jaguar XJ-6 fan clutch. It's a 22" radiator. You can see just how big this is. I am using a thicker as aluminum radiator so the shorter jag clutch is necessary. My fan blade to shroud spacing is 3/4" from blade to shroud. This allows scavenging, but doesn't let the blades hit from motor torque. I am using a 74 K frame with the round barrel type mounts with polyurethane so there isnt any movement. I'd recommend a torque chain or other engine limiter device.
