Paul,  I just realized that we should start with the louver framework
at the very bottom of the cowl and build upward to support the
radiator.  I have always talked about "hanging" the radiator.  This is
ass backwards and I could never get worked out exactly how it would be
done.  But working from the existing S-Beam  motor mount, it is no big
deal to bolt in a framework (.75 x ,035 sq 4130) for the louvers that
is rock solid.  This frame will be the foundation of the cooling
package: Louvers; Radiator;Plenum.  I can see the time coming very soon
when we will  have a  radiator/plenum that absolutely works. Maybe
something built by Ed with the mounting brackets in the right place.
Installing it will simply be a matter of bolting  to the framework
already built into the engine mount.   Jerry
