• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

SM 630 Radiator

Pretty much. You might get 2000 miles out of a factory radiator, you might get 20,000. It's almost always the innermost tube, due to vibration.
 
Braces, yes. Guards just to keep things from hitting them. I've never had a problem with the factory fins on-road.
 
I called Mylers and they said they will fix it which is alot cheaper then replacing it so if I do that then get the guards and brace wondering if that will prolong the life.
 
Now they remembered to weld them together :thinking: Mine did have one sideplate weld missed when they arrived. After fixing that they have worked just fine.
 
unfortunately them being thicker has made fan bracket useless. gonna try electric fan mount kit using foam cushions and zipties. worked on my dragcar, should work with this radiator. thankfully all hoses lined up.
 
the real scoop. these fit hose wise but toss the stock fan bracket. it will not work. I found a work around. use this kit. sold at any auto parts store.
 
line up fan and push thru the plastic hold tiesto front of radiator. I used the included foam cushions on fan side to properly shim fan. you will have to trim end piece to get up against fan housing.
like this:

put fan to desired location and push thru plastic hold down rod.
should look like this


insert locking device. I used some 1" foam trim up against the lock.

cut excess off

lower shroud mount held by on by the wrap. will not line up. other side yes on bolting up

tank sits a little higher causing fitment issues with seat but it is what it is.hope this helps. pictures make it all worth while.
 
many thanx. I did a 34 mile thrash. all good no leaks. New fan switch worked also. fan came on(finally)
thanx guys for all the tech tips. these radiators are a real bargain.
