Just a comment. Pushing the rad forward either at the top or at 1 side is j=
ust fine. That's how the "flat rate" guys used to do it however, doing so r=
equires that the air deflectors at the sides of the radiator must be bent i=
nward to provide clearance. Of course no one ever used to bend
 the deflectors back into place which often resulted in the customer return=
ed with hot running/ overheating issues as soon as the hot weather returned=
.
Always good for another 2 chargable hours!!!
