In reply to: Bill 's message, "Dutch Door Installation" on 07/ 22/ 03, 4:34pm

Bill and Steve: (1) I just purchased a 1979 FC35, with no owner's manual, and don't know if it has the swing radiator or not. Bluebird tells me it wasn't standard until the mid 80's, but a previous owner took the time, and expense, to perform several upgrades including rear air bag suspension, conversion from 6 volt to 12 volt system, square headlights and tail lights, and chrome all around. (2) Please keep me posted on this project as I may be interested in performing it on my vehicle. (3) By the way, what would I look for to know if mine has the swing radiator? (4) Looking from the front, I'm really wondering if an outwardly swinging radiator is possible because, as far as I can see, the radiator extends below the front bumper meaning it could only swing a few inches at best. 5) 'Am I correct in understanding that the whole face of the bus must be unscrewed before the swing radiator could be accessed? Thanks...Henry F. Claeys at claeys@rgv.net

I had the swing radiator put on my 1980 fc33. I love it. Your concern on the bumper is taken care because Holland Motor Homes also installs hinges on the bottom of the bumper. To get at my belts and the front of the engine I remove 4 bolts from the bumper and it swings down I remove the front sheet metal from in front of the radiator. and 4 more bolts that keep the radiator in place and swing it out. No draining of fluids no mess.
