Thanks, guys. It dawned on me that I may have kept the radiator assembly from a parts sled I got 5 years ago. I had to go to a storage unit I rent (because I have too dang much stuff!) but I found it.
My Invader has been missing that part of the aluminum strip across the top and the PTO side of the rad....for 33 years. I don't think that I have to worry about it.
I see the aluminum is cracked on my parts radiator...if I had looked closely at my original, I can see it had cracked in the same place.
Dandby7, thanks...I did install a new pad below the radiator.
Checkmarks..my sled is probably a 9 out of 10...a very nice survivor, but a few bumps and bruises..The last thing I'm going to worry about is making it into a show winner....it's a RIDER!
But, I guess I'm in the mood to fix it up a little. I may rig up a small L bracket to put this aluminum strip back in place.
It's just me, but the "jury rigged" aircraft cable for the hood just isn't right, so I may change that, too.
