Brief Description:  Cooling system/Radiator

Went through the Viking provided HBH video section on the cooling system. On 2nd viewing, I started to position the cooling system hoses. Didn't clamp anything at this point as I'm just getting the layout set. Some hoses will probably end up getting cut for the final fit.

Tapped the holes on the radiator and added mounting shafts. Measured and drilled the rear mounting shaft holes. The holes are on the rear rivet line used by the "hat" cabin frame support. In order to get reasonable hole clearance from the existing rivets, I shifted the center toward the passenger side a bit. This should not be a problem as the hoses can be manipulated to fit. (NOTE FROM FUTURE SELF: Shifting the center of the radiator necessitated come additional cowling modification later on.) Left the front hanging from a bungee for the time being. The forward studs don't really have anywhere to attatch at the moment. Once I build a box around the radiator and attach it to the cabin floor, it probably won't need attachments there. Cooling should not be much of an issue in the Cruzer vs. the STOL, so I probably won't have it hanging down near as much in front, but for now it is fine.

Cabin heater and plastic tanks are in transit and should be here soon.
