New trick (to me at least)
Everyone else probably already knows this trick but just in case I thought I would share it. One of my least favorite jobs on my T has always been mounting the radiator and trying to get the mount studs up high enough to get everything on them and then the nut, so what I figured out was I took a piece of 5/16 fuel hose, cut off about 1/2 inch and pulled the stud up and wedged the hose under it before putting any of the pieces on top, then just put it together.

Re: New trick (to me at least)
Sounds like a good idea. In the past I have been putting a block of wood, or a tool the right height under the stud. Your idea seems like a good one and you can even leave it in place if you want to.
