I bit the bullet and went to my local radiator man and told him to go ahead and build me a four row radiator with the larger tanks and a curved lower outlet as shown in my GS service guide. I am also replaceing the water pump since I didn't do it when I had the motor down for overhaul. The pump will be here friday. The radiator should be done next week. I will let you all know what happens. I would like to thank all of you and I wish for you a verry joyous holiday season. Take care. Bill Bailey
I spent two days trying to figure out why the water pump I ordered did not fit, It was a used one. Evertyime I would get it torqued down it would bind up. I finally took it back and asked them to find a new one for me which they did in 3 days time. I had it on installed and torqued in a half hour. I am now still waiting for the new custom built radiator. The parts should be here on monday. I am having withdrawls and sometime just go out to the garage to look at my GS with no radiator. Take care all. Bill Bailey
Bill did the new radiator come in yet? Let us know how it looks when it does. I can't wait for Spring... It has been waaayyy to long since I drove the Cat.:3gears:
John, Glad to see you are back on this great forum, I hope you are all settled in back there. I am waiting to hear from my radiator man. I will give him a call in a little while. I got your PM and sent you an e- mail. Say hello to the family for me. It is freezing here in Kingman today. Take care John(Supercat) Bill Bailey
I called today at around 4:30 PM, he said it is going to be ready in the morning. He said it was drying and he would paint it. The price is $300. plus tax. I will let you know if it is correct. Bill Bailey
I brought it home and checked out the fit. I had to take it back to have the lower outlet shortened so it would not rub on the steering gearbox. I got it back and installed it fine. I took it for a test drive to check out the installation for leaks and the new pump and radiator and hoses are good. I drove it to work tonight and cheched for leaks and levels, all is AOK. Thanks to all for your help. Bill Bailey
