:cry::cry::cry::cry: bonnet bra's ruin the look in my opinion.

Looking sexy Benn, you know I love your car!. Just a quick questing about the rad and the fans.

I take it that rad is a standard GTE/GSi sized one? What size are those slimline fans? I'm wondering if I should go for a single large fan or two smaller like yourself.

Mixed feelings about the bra, I can see the benefits but from some angles it's touch and go whether it suits. Maybe if the two flaps up top weren't there it'd look tidier, but they're probably there for a reason.

:thumb:

IIRC they're weights.

What's the mirrors Benn, Astra mk3? 8)

Riiiiight, makes sense.

Stunning as always, Bonnet bra looks crap though!

The rad is thicker than the normal Gsi one but only by a few mm (say 5ish)
I run two 7inch fans, because i want them on the front for the cleaner look.
You could run i'd think a 8 or 9inch fan on the back, plus one on the front if you where worried. Depending on where the ic fits and all that.

As i've said, i'm still two minds on the bra, the flat work as wind brakes to hold it down and tight to the bonnet.

Cheers Matt,

Funked off at the mo, as my sump is leaking. Fresh oil is around the seal/gasket. No clue what to do with it.. Might try beading/wiping a layer around the out sides of it to seal the layers up..

Tried to fit the discs that came with my 4pots. They don't fit at all. Hubs are too big, center bore is too big. C**ts. Now what the funk do i do?

I know that this will sound daft Benn but when I used sealant last time (admittedly it was silicone Bathroom sealant) I was told to use a wet lollypop stick to push it down and smooth it out as it was drying.

Perhaps doing this with yours it would push some sealant into the leak rather than skimming the top.

Either that or sump off again :(

That's very much what i'm thinking, Scott said a few pages back about running some along the join on the out side.
