IMPORTANT: Before you thread the 10mm x 40mm Hex Bolt up into the Nut Plate, make sure
to check the length of the bolt. The bolt should measure no more than 40mm (1-9/16”) from
the bottom of the head to the end of the bolt. If the bolt is longer than 40mm (1-9/16”), do not
use and contact your local retailer. Do not attempt to install the bolt if it is longer than 40mm
(1-9/16”), doing so will cause damage to the radiator. Use the 10mm x 30mm OD Large Flat
Washers to prevent Hex Bolt from coming in contact with radiator, (Figure 2).
