    The postman has been kind today and brought me half the bits ive been waiting for.

    New Radiator

    New pair of fans to replace the single fan

    hope these fans cover enough surface area

    new aerocatch's for the rear or the bonnet

    Teflon hose and fittings for the pressure line.

    Hopefully this will hold up

    just left to turn up is the rubber braided hose/fittings for the return oil lines, a new rubber engine mount and the fueling gear i need.

    A bit of a update. The engine is back and sorted just got the fuel hoses, throttle cables, and some other bits on the induction side to fit. I thought I would have had it running today but I have been given the wrong fittings for the remote oil filter housing so I'm hoping by the weekend it will be up to a standard of testing ready for outlaw at pod. I'll get some pics chucked up if anybody is interested

    Your fans look like mine but a bit bigger, they cool the rad down really well and quickly.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Is that an of the shelf rad or one youve had made?

    Maybe my next purchase as mine is the original & 21yrs old & pretty sure starting to weep a little.

    Looks like a TX Autosport special. Work fine for a NA engines, not much of a improvement over a stock one but easier to chop about to fit where you like.

    Thanks James

    Heard mixed reviews on TX rads regarding poor welds & leaking from brand new.
