Thanks for that link Abel - I have two out of the three original baffles, think I’ll order the set of two.

Jim - radiator is not very difficult.  measure the hight of the new one.  You will not quite need that much lift if I recall because there’s enough room to angle it.

Two bolts removes the two curved supports and the whole thing drops.  don’t forget to disconnect wiring first and I would recommend draining and disconnecting the hoses.  Take the fan and shroud off after dropping it.  Install is the reverse.
