Just another YJ build

I bought this Griffin radiator with fans package 1-1.5 years ago. Finally pulled it out of the box for a test fitting. Embarrassing :shaking:

Built a lower radiator mount using a bunch of scrap steel i had laying around. I lined it with some rubber fuel tank strap isolators from a class 8 truck (dumpster digging at work) glued in place with some industrial adhesive. Fits tight in there like a glove.

I went to install the fuel pump/sending unit in the Motobilt fuel cell, and noticed the pick up was about 2-2.25" from the bottom of the tank. I figured it would start sipping air when there was still about 4 gallons of gas left, and be completely sucking air when there was about 3.5 gallons left. Finding that unacceptable, I made a bracket to lower the pump and clamped on a longer piece of hose so the pick-up is now on the bottom of the tank. I also installed the filler cap assembly and roll-over vent valve. I also spent some time tweaking the float bar to get it properly positioned. Maybe I will route all the hoses next weekend.
