Radiator overflow tank re-mount?

natas · Nov 3, 2012

OK, so today is the day we are attempting to install my Gwyn Lewis kit.

First question.

I am supposed to re-mount the radiator overflow tank.

Lewis sent 2 bolts about 3" with plastic bushings but I cant figure out how to mount it?????

I assume the bolts move the tank over closer to the engine but what about the existing bottom mount?

Help!

Thanks/

ah, that makes more sense! was gonna say, if its overflowing then a bit of tubing attached to the filler cap pointed at the ground is all that's required

Got the tank mount figured out.

9 hours today and still not finished.
Actually it was not that difficult but all the rust bolts slowed us down quite a bit.

The front end is done including the radius arms.

The rear is almost done. A couple nuts will not budge so we have to borrow a torch but that will not be until Monday.

But I think it will be all done by Monday evening.

I am a little surprised at how much higher she is now.
I ordered stock height, I guess the old springs were quite worn

I will post pics when Im done.........
