Well I was so convinced it fit. I told the world.
You ARE the world, aren't you? Well my 71
and the Geo Metro A/T rad are too tight a fit.
I wonder if they gave me a non-A/T rad instead?
This one has oil cooler lines in the bottom tank.
On the trip to go get a proper cap for the rad,
I didn't fight the hood latch and halfway there,
the safety catch forgot and open it flew.
I have finally fit another bonnet, only to find
the cap is marking the metal an inch before
shutting.
I can try to lean it back further by going back to
a pressed steel water pump pulley (standard size)
instead of the cast and thicker bigger one. I can
thin the heads of the 7/16 fine bolts. I could
trim the water pump flange, but there goes the
belt alignment (and the neighborhood).
I can try to reposition the fan and maybe use
the Geo one instead of the similar Honda item.
I could fit a custom top tank to the radiator?
Well it cools gr8 with the bonnet off!
