    Radiator mounting ?

    I have a quick question regarding mounting my radiator. Does it have to be mounted completely verticle or can it be leaned forward about 30 degrees, witch will mean the radiator cap will be "not level" any more.
    Need help asap, I'm trying to get this fab'd up right now!
    thanks
    Call me if it helps

    Just to give you a heads up, my Dejong 4 seater mounts the radiator completely horizontal. In the years I have had that car and in 115 degree heat, the water temp has never passed 200 degrees. Food for thought.

    So it is O.K. for the cap to not be reletively level

    Not too sure about that. I know I have a external reservoir and the cap is level on the resevoir.

    should be fine.might want to look into an inline fill tho and not use the one on the radiator so you can fill completely.
