Jazzman’s #8745 "Flip Top" Build

[wareaglescott]

I had a problem where my upper hose didn't reach the radiator inlet and then I realized I had the entire radiator installed upside down! Those angled attachments were pointing the wrong direction for me. Once I corrected that it fit no problem. Surely that is not your case but thought I would mention it just so you could be sure.
Is there any chance the power steering pump could be mounted in a different hole than Paul causing a positional difference that gives you a problem when it worked for him? I know my pump sits much lower so I wasn't sure how many mounting options there were.
Was trying to think of another way to attack this problem. Would a spacer on the motor on the back side of the component where the inlet attaches be at all feasible to give you some more room?
