The cutout is for the 'B' piller

Picture is for the drivers side and is upside down.

Cut out is for the door pillar post, if you look at yours you'll see the
rocker goes around it.

My son just changed my pump out for me and back flushed my heater core.

While I had the rad out, I welded up a metal strap down the side of my
radiator where I snapped it in half and removed a couple end cores that
were stretched beyond fixing so now have really nice heat again and
hopefully a rad that will hold.

I gotta take her up the 400 highway where it is safe for a high speed
run to see if the new pump will keep her cool above 75 mph or 120 kph.
I will take her out of the slow lane and maybe keep along in the middle
lane at 80 or 140 or so for a while to see. :-) The fast lane is too
insane for a CJ....

If we can set up a date, I can let the rest of the local RAMJ+W folks
know. A bunch will likely show up for moral support if nothing else or
a general fixit party.
