I managed to get the transmission cooler reinstalled last night but only after slightly bending its mounting taps. Otherwise it was impossible to get it over the studs to which it attaches! The upper line to the transmission is attached now too but the lower won't go in so I'll have to fuss with its alignment a but more. It seems to me that when I installed it before the front clip was removed but if so I have no idea how I got the lower hose back onto the radiator that way.

While working on the Patrician, a new roll-up door to the shop was installed as the last time I was here the old one's torsion sprint broke making it impossible to open. I replaced another door too recently and both had insulated while the old were not. My goal this visit was not to work on the Patrician so much as I thought changing the fan would take only a couple hours but that turned out to not be the case!
