slowly working on the $500.00 Midget, changing 1275 motor over from another Sprite. Thought I would drop in the Radiator in 15 minutes.

First problem was front body panels and radiator reinforcement bars bolts had to be removed so I could line up 4 bolts for Radiator.
So after all that unbolting bolting I find out that the bottom radiator outlet was a different size so my hose would not fit. Took me a while to figure that one out, I thought it was just a PIA job to mount lower hose. So I had to go through that whole process again so I could mount the Bugeye radiator.

When I removed the water tempature sensor from radiator it rung out instead of unscrewing. Luckily I pipe threaded a brass fitting in the hole and will install plug in brass fitting tomorrow.

So I assume the bugeye application would be the correct lower radiator hose? the lower outlet is smaller than my 67 radiator
