Dale, you are lucky in that you have no gear lever gate, so you can (within reason) have the front /rear orientation where you want it.
(just plot where the holes go along the tube (measure from the end), and drill new holes, at 90 degrees to the old ones) Use a V block to drill the holes, or drill one hole for each bolt, put the U.J. part into the tube, and use the U.J. part as a drilling guide.

Does anyone have one of those parts books (with the missing page 13) that can check if there are more than one option for the various parts.

Just got home from work and marked the centre lines and holes positions then rotated it 90% does this look more like it ? Yes Lynn I'll drill one hole first then it should follow the solid UNI hole as a guide out through the other side

Default parts book

As Lynn has suggested the parts book make mention of a revised joint on page 38. I also talks about re-drilling the shaft.

This is my best find so far . NOS in crate Feb 1943 radiator . I had it tested today all's good. The radiator man has been in the game for 30 yrs has never seen a 71 yrs old radiator that good before like new . It's amazing that this stuff is still out there in 2014 . Where they left black or painted KG green No3 . Dale

Hi dale, that's a great find. I've never seen a brand new radiator like that before.
Well done!
