Here are some progress  photos of the flying version of my louvers.
They are light and very stiff.  They are just setting on top of the rad
and not  yet installed.  In real  life they would be on the bottom of
course.  The gage is for pressure checking the rad  but I am short one
fitting.  Maybe tomorrow.

  The louvers added 3 inches to the overall width of the rad measured to
the outside of the aluminum side rails.   This could be cut down to
2.5" but no more.  For my 13 inch wide radiator this did not present a
problem but it is something to be considered when choosing a radiator.

The swirl pot is something I no longer  have a use for as I  have gone
with the inline tank (also shown).     It is free to a good home.  The
inlet/outlets are 1.5 o.d.  It is designed to go in the upper left
corner of the  firewall.    ..Jerry
