Do yourself a favor an measure it now while it's mocked up. Wilwood was working on a new design when I talked to them 2 months ago. The new design was shimmable.
Will do, thanks for the info!
Ok Ok so I could wait, I had to put a wheel on. I did a little sanding, not much and it slipped on. My axle if off but I wanted to get a wheel on,lol

Little bit of a parts update. So I called Blake from Speedtech about some bolts for the front clip. That let to ordering Speedtech headers made by Stainless works. I also ordered the steering shaft kit and ball joint covers.
Next is the Auto Rad Radiator slash core support. Man what a work of art! This thing is bad arse!

Sick dude....you may want to spray the front of the support semi gloss though. That is a ton of aluminum with all the grill space we have.

The idea is to find someone that can anodize it black. If I cant find someone Ill just shoot it.

This was posted in my intercooler thread as I was talking about anodizing mine.

"Be careful. The advice I have gotten from the folks at Ron Davis is that anodizing is not an option due to the cooling fins being too thin. They have seen several radiators ruined this way."

I think I will just paint mine if I still want it black....
