I guess it seams like I've been sitting on my butt posting BS on these news groups. Well that is only half true. I have actually been completing the design of the radiator and the instructions for the radiator guy to put it together. And building a shipping container that can be used by the radiator builder to sets the lower and side mounts in place. And since I decided to go with a brass radiator I had to remake the side mounts out of brass because you cant weld aluminum to brass.

So here are some pictures. Including the new side mounts, radiator shipping case and a model of the radiator left tank showing a unique upper hose inlet design that I have asked the radiator shop to fabricate. This tank design will allow me to use the SL600 upper radiator hose with no modifications.

The idea of the case is so the radiator builder can setup the location of the side mounts and lower mounts. The radiator will have a factory like fit using the same rubber pads that clip onto the plastic MB radiator.

I have also pulled the chassis main wiring harness from the SL600 and I have started to remove unnecessary wires. Man this wire harness is heavy. Technically at work I would have to have two people lift it because it weighs over 30 lb.
