Radiator cap chain?

Unread post by kwb » November 2nd, 2021, 8:34 am

Getting close to the first start up. got the radiator in and then work on the hold downs for the 51R batteries. I searched a lot of pictures for the radiator cap safety chain location , can't find anything. does it just hook around the overflow tube? thanks

It hooks to the front bolt holding the valve cover down. Actually there is a washer having a little eye for the chain
