So I finally decided to address the cooling issues with my Tiger. Since the car is already upside down on the rotisserie this is no big deal. A few minutes to measure, grab the cutoff wheel and make some sparks. In the first picture you can see how much the radiator support blocks the air flow. On the far right of the pic you'll notice a 1 1/2 or so inch gap in the lower opening. That's how far I moved that side of the support over so it follows a straight line parallel to the radiator. I made a long pie cut to the top of the support avoiding cutting into the back support plate. Then simply trimmed material and butt welded the gap closed. I made a 3 inch wide cradle brace to fit under the radiator but I have to wait until my friend gets back from Florida to use his bead roller to strengthen it. Then on to making the horn hole block off plates. I figure there is now a good 18 to 20 percent more open area for air flow to cool the radiator. Jeff
