It`s about 2" away from the header tube. Is that enough, or still too close? I think I can make it further away by adjusting the AN fitting at the pump.

well, since my work decided to close this holiday (unpaid no less) I now have a solid day to work on the rig. Not too bad weather wise, looking to be about 50 and sunny, so should be good. As soon as I finish my coffee, I`m out!

Just coming in for a dinner break. Didn`t get out till almost noon time, and have run to the store twice for stuff, but I`m making some progress. Need to drill one of the holes in the waterpump out to accept the bolt for the bracket, so now I`m waiting for my stinkin drill battery to finish charging. And it`s getting dark (fockin winter!). But, I bought a flood light, so I`m staying out till its too late to make noise!

It`s too dark, and the spot light isn`t enough for me, so I quit for the night. Since I`m off the night at work, I`ll just get to bed early, and that means I can get out there as soon as it starts getting light out there (about 7am).
Came accross a little problem with the pump brackets, so I`ll come up with a solution for that in the AM, I`m pretty sure its just a matter of adding more washers to one or both sides of the brackets on the waterpump.

I don't understand, why do you need the square tube to mount the radiator? Are you running a custom radiator or something?
