Another day, another update… It seems that no matter how hard I try to get away from it, all of my projects seem to involve insane amounts of filing. In fact, that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much though, as I’ve always been happy with the results. All of that filing, leads to the following update.

When I left off with the last update, I had just finished making the bends in the radiator mount. Next up, was the hole for the radiator. I used a template and careful measurements, to make sure everything was where I wanted it to be.

I didn’t get any pictures of the cutting process, but a dremel and a reinforced cutting wheel made pretty quick work of the aluminum. At that point, I had to file and straighten the cuts, followed by a light sanding of the edges. The work and patience paid off, and I was left with the results below.

A test fit with the radiator, and all looked well!

The only thing to do at this point, was take a look and see how the mount and radiator fit into the case.

I’ve got get the mount fastened into the case yet, and before I do, all exposed edges will get a touch of black paint. I’ve also got to get low profile mounting screws for the radiator. These will be black as well. There is a little work to be done on the case side panel yet, but I’ll try and get the other radiator mount finished first, then worry about finishing the panels. Stay tuned!
