Started making my "custom" door levers and turn signal lever and column shifter. The handles are out of stainless steel, the T/S lever is from Monel (steel/nickel alloy) and the shifter is from stainless steel. However, when removing the T/S lever I thought it was threaded in like every other lever I've pulled but it had a jetway and I shredded the housing. Guess ill be making that out of delrin or nylatron when I can!! Will post pics soon

I bought a new Griffen radiator for my Monte, my old one I had custom made by Griffen back before there was one made for a gbody with 2 X 1.25" tubes and they
used epoxy and cast water neck then.
The new one has a machined water neck and a threaded overfow fitting and there is no epoxy in the construction.
I will use my old one in another future Gbody project that I am accumulating parts for.
The funny thing is since the new is a stock part number it cost half of what I paid for my custom one.
So I decided to polish it like I do with all my aluminum parts.

Who did you buy from? Would you mind sharing the part number? I'll be radiator shopping shortly and would like to compare.
Nice job on the polish, btw :thumbup:
