    Default Lotus 61 radiator brackets

    Hello
    Can anyone please help me with the measurements for the brackets holding the radiator on the Lotus 61?
    I have all the attachment points as all the stubs are still in place from the original framework. I also have an original radiator to test with.
    I need the following measurements

    A: Lenght of tube center of boss to frame tube A=
    B: Lenght of tube center of boss to frame tube B=
    C: Lenght of tube center of boss to frame tube C=
    D: Lenght of tube center of boss to frame tube D=
    E: Lenght of tube center of boss to frame tube E=
    F: Lenght of tube center of boss to frame tube F=
    G: Distance below top of frame tube to centre of boss G=
    H: Distance below top of frame tube to centre of boss H=
    I: Distance below top of line extension top of frame tubes to top off boss I=
    J: Distance centre of boss to frame tube in 90 deg J=
    K: Distance centre of boss to frame tube in 90 deg K=
    L: Distance centre of boss to frame tube in 90 deg L=



    I guess that "I" can be hard to measure if you got the bulkhead in place then measurements from under the frame rails is OK just make a note how you measure. Please see attached picture for which measurement is which.
    Thank you in advance

    Default FF 40

    I would love to go there and the car will probably be ready but the shipping of the cars from Europe would kill me
