Radiator swap

This summer's travels brought about the most recent upgrade to a more effective radiator for Centurion. Whereas the original plans/setup worked well, this build has continued to push into uncharted territory and some of the "what ifs" should at least be tried.

The old radiator is about to be removed here..

With a bit of an installation angle, it fits well and works superbly! Even in town, there is little need for kicking on the electric fan.

As a side note, the previous thermostat was removed and a 195 deg installed. Temp readings are now very constant in any condition with little variation.

That's the latest!
