gen door radiator update
Thanks for all the help. I was finally able to get that last bottom
bolt off the shroud, helped having another pair of hands to hold the
radiator just so so I could reach it. It is at the shop and will find
out today if it can be repaired (hope)or will require a new core....

Robbie Wood sent some great photos of an easier way (4 bolts) to move
& turn the radiator & shroud so it can be removed together then
disassembled. Looks like a whole lot easier way to go than the way I
did it and am going to try to put it back in that way. Wish I had
gotten them before I did it the other way...ha! Would be good for an
article in the archives.

These forums are great and if I hadn't been lurking and learning I
would likely not have attempted this myself or considered keeping my
little brothers bird and using it for awhile.
Having so many bird owners/mechanics willing to share is a blessing.
I have spent way too much this last year at 200 here, 300 there,
+more etc. mostly just learning to use all the systems and doing
little things that my brother would never had paid anyone to do. When
organizing the outside storage before our last outing found extra
belts, filters and hoses of every description. Likely 1 for
everything.
Thankfully, he was an excellent mechanic & fix it and had everything
up to snuff. It has been a most interesting experience learning the
how to's of all the systems and finding everything works....once I
find the right buttons, switches, sequence etc.

Again, thank you everyone. I'm sure there will be some challenges
getting it back together...until then
