Hi,
My system is all up and running, but there is a slight problem, my Monsta radiator does not fit in the 85mm extended top, the stop fittings on the radiator are in the way frown.gif
can i file down the fittings? Or is there something else i can do? it is too tall by like 2mm for the top to fit on perfectly frown.gif
Any suggestions would be appreciated

You might be able to put a couple of washers under the ball studs on the cover. That way it should at least clip into place, but there would still be a gap where it meets the frame.

What case do you have? Those Monsta rads are the only reason I am considering a t10 over the m8.

Also, How do you like their performance compared to the thinner rads?
