Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Ok guys here we go....
Attached is a PDF 1:1 drawing. You need to print it out, join it and cut off the excess paper on the outside. When done the perimeter should measure 180mm x 320mm.
We need to check the location of the fan bolts please. I do this by placing the template you have just made on the radiator and pressing the paper firmly to mark the bolt location. You then need you to measure the distance from the centre of the bolt to the outside lines and give me your measurements, please PM me. We are doing this in case there is a difference from bike to bike. I will put my measurements up soon.

Paper size shouldn't matter. I just printed it at actual size and trimmed the printout to the lines making it easier to place accurately on the radiator. Just a little press against the bolts makes a good impression on the paper.
I've taken my measurements but want to check them today before posting. I remember I have another radiator that I crashed bit will measure also for what it's worth...

sussurf, I agree with your measurements except 14 I get 15.5 and that's to the edge of the radiator core (not the plastic frame). So fair to say we are on the money with these measurements.

Thanks no don't bother its close enough and pretty much all of our bikes should be the same, fingers crossed.

Water cutting is looking like the best option to get these done because CNC mill is to problematic, but until I get one done I wont know for sure. Failing that there is always Laser but its more expensive. With that said, I have decide to make the cost per unit USD$98 each plus USD$20 freight (air post).
I expect it will take me three weeks odd to get a batch of 10 or so units done.
If you would like one please copy this post and add you name to it and I will pm you, many thanks.
