Radiator cutout

My first issue (and unfortunately not the last) that I had was that the top panel was riveted to the case, not screwed on. Not to worry, nothing a pointy screwdriver and a drill wont fix.

I wasnt really sure how I was going to remove them at first, but my method I decided on in the end seemed the work ok.

One pointy screwdriver + hammer…

+ Drill…

=

One nice case sized screw hole

I found that from the off the centre bit was very easy to knock out with the screwdriver and then a minimal amount of drilling would free up the rest of the  rivet so i could just pull it out.

I had to do this 4 times (2 both ends) which then allowed the top panel to easily come away

Now it was ready to take to the garage and start hacking to pieces

If you’re interested (and why wouldnt you be!), here’s how the case looks with no top
