I used hinges with removable pins. I bolted them to the radiator frame
using 1/4" stainless bolts and nylock nuts. I also made a little
aluminum-angle piece that fit over one bolt on each side of the pin, above
and below at the aft end of the hinge. The piece was drilled to slid over
the exposed bolt threads and was held in place with a couple of additional
nuts. The angle wraps over the pin to keep it from working out. I used
allen-head bolts with low-profile round heads to avoid getting too close to
the radiator tank.

What I can't remember is whether I did it while the frame was on the coach
or whether I removed it altogether the first time.

Too cold and wet for a picture. I thought I'd uploaded a picture years ago,
but I can't find it.
