  • Cool/Heat: C/K radiator installation

    On my 60 hawk, is the radiator support and radiator supposed to be absolute vertical or does it slant forward some? Mine wants to slant forward 5 to 10 degrees. If it's supposed to be vertical, i gots me some serious alignment problems. Thanks.

    Bob:
    One of our chapter members has a '60 Hawk and his radiator DOES slant forward. I've also noticed the same arrangement in GT Hawks. Hope this helps you.
