Bugeye Bonnet Installation Update
Took my first trial fit at mounting the Bugeye Bonnet with front tilt setup. Discovered that a Bugeye Bonnet can balance quite easily using the fender mirror mounting holes rigged up with eyebolts and a rope suspended from a pulley up at the ceiling level. Made it into a one person job to move around and trial fit. Not something for after finish and paint is done but at this stage worked quite well.
Discovered that my oil cooler mounted between the radiator uprights down at the bottom will interfere with the bonnet unless I trim the mounting ears on the bracket and that oil cooler hoses will need to run up and over the top of the radiator shroud for clearance.
Anyone got a picture of an oil cooler mounting between the radiator uprights and oil cooler hose routing when used with a Bugeye bonnet. I got a shot of a vertical mounting alongside the radiator upright but that doen't look to be the most efficient way to get the oil cooler out in the airflow.
My plan is to trim the ears off of the large |______| U shaped oil cooler bracket, mount by only 1 hole on each side, and tilt back at a 30-40 degree angle and see if I can get clearance to get the bonnet snugged up and closed. Time for more engineering cogitation.
