  I'm nervous about the louvers being warped on the radiator?  What are your thoughts?

Hopefully they didn't arrive warped?! (My proof parts didn't.) Yes, those fins are about as thin as you can get with this acrylic stuff and that is the danger. Easy does it with the acetone bath. I suggest just a quick dunk to get the goop off the outer surfaces. Cleaning the slots manually with sandpaper is tedious but rewarding. See my instructions for the suggested procedure and please ask whatever questions you have for clarification etc.

Just got these in, printed in the premium FXD. Quite an improvement I think.
