I finally got my Moss baffles installed on my '62 3000 Mk II and while a tight fit everything seems to work. I had problems with overheating even at highway speeds on hot days and it was pointed out that a source of the problem might the missing baffles. The rad had been removed and tested by a reputable rad company and the thermostat was new. If the baffles don't do the trick then it will be time to pull the water pump which was the rad mechanics first target in a 50+ year old car.
Before attaching the upper bolts on the baffles I had to move the cable harness attachments which were occupying those holes. These baffles had been missing a long time. My only concern on the instal is that the drive side baffle is just touching the radiator. Passenger side missed by a mm. On the MkII, there is for and aft adjustment on the top rad bolts but not the bottom. My question to the forum is this "snug fit" to the radiator acceptable?
The first picture is the driver side baffle just touching the rad and the second is the lower baffle mount showing no room for forward adjustments.
