Don't consider a single or side mounted radiator(s) either. Because of the way air flows, they don't work well even with vents or things to drive the flow through them.

He said front mount, Lee.
Crumco has had good results with mounting them in the front, but they use the chassis tubes for passage of the coolant. Just gotta insulate those tubes near the cockpit.

Yes, I know he did but that often turns to morphing other things. My point was to eliminate any thought on doing side mounting. This was for him and anyone else.

Rear arms look like some Dave Brown Specials? If so they will serve you well, mine have. Fun build, nice weld quality, bad ass motor trans combo you will be smiling! Keep it up!

I believe they are. They were built for a guy out here that went with a different setup and had a new set built. I got lucky finding these on here.CentralWAbaja wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 6:41 pm Rear arms look like some Dave Brown Specials? If so they will serve you well, mine have.

Re: 71 Baja build
Finally getting some things done on the baja. Just sent my ECU and harness out to get reworked. Now to get the motor all lined out and everything figured out with it. Should be getting the front bumper and clip on in the next couple weeks. Gotta order up some more parts. Them seats are big for my big ass. Not sure if a 3 seater is going to be possible at this point.

Re: 71 Baja build
Been at it slowly. Got my harness reworked and cleaned up. A bit more welding to do on the cage.
