Well that just about does it for me.

My radiator is 27W x19Hx3T and is tilted 25*. The off-the-shelf Fluidyne for Cobra is FHP30-SHELBY and is 23.65W X 18.0H X 3.5T. I am guessing this is not your radiator so did you have them make a larger one with the Cobra connections or did you use a different model? I just talked with them and they'll make a cusstom size with Cobra connections for $150 more. I guess I could go that route and just not send my kid to college $$.

For those who know, could I not use the off-the-self Fluidyne and just shroud the front sides to cover up the 2" difference on each side?
