All,
Plugging away here and trying to finish radiator install. Side brackets are on, the lower center bracket is giving me a challenge. This is on a SS7, 912is. The instructions say to drill 3 #30 holes in the bottom of the radiator and rivet the bracket on. I drilled the 3 holes, carefully, and only 1 of 3 will accept a rivet in terms of depth. The hole that is ok is the middle hole, the fore/aft holes will not let the rivet sink in far enough to grab. I believe the core is in the way underneath. The holes are about 3/8", maybe a bit more, fore/aft of the middle hole if that makes sense.
I guess options are drill them further fore/aft or move the bracket to the left or right slightly? Any advice? I am not sure what the core looks like underneath and want to avoid the swiss cheese approach.
Thanks
Scott
