Hi Jim,

OK on Falmouth, been offshore from there several times, coming and going
on sailing jaunts.

The Nissens looks good and they supply new clips for the two tranny cooling lines.
Those are pricey at the local ripoff Volvo dealer and I see most of the retailers
want 2 X $20 for the clips with O-rings that are most likely reuseable.

I got the radiator abt 5pm so had to let it cool and by dusk the old one was out
and the new one is in there. When it stops raining, back to finish up.
There's two little square spacers that showed up ? maybe they belong to the top relay carrier?

There's funky access to some of the fasteners ,and I found the short 3/8 drive swivel sockets to be worth their weight in gold, cuz a straight socket or wobbler doesn't cut it.

I noticed the A/C condenser looks some tired. I suppose that will go belly up
just after the radiator repair?
