cool rad.

[Luke]

recent progress

good and bad.......... the bad............ i collected my radiator, took it straight down to the garage to fit it............ and it was too big basically my fault - i'd sketched it right but transferring it to a neat drawing i wrote down the core size as the overall size and added the end tanks - resulting in a radiator thats too big, can't be shortened ............. scrap

so i've ordered another but the correct size this time

but the good news ......... the van is now down at the exhaust shop waiting for a stainless system to be built next week........... lets hope i get that right

Thats a bit of a pig about the rad
But good news on the exhaust

Collected the van from exhaustsuk yesterday it's now got a shiny stainless exhaust and my wallet is £550 lighter

i had the exhaust built into the o/s sidepipe but long term i want to replace them with stainless ones and pipe the n/s one up too

now got to get a move on with the wiring - gear linkage cooling them i'm ready for weald

[AlanN]
