Thanks Ben.

I must confess I wasn't planning to isolate it, I sort of assumed that for the very short running time it will get, it wouldn't be an issue. I could be wrong of course.

My Nova is currently away for a while, with a friend who is doing some work on it for me. The wiring loom is now all done, hoorah.

And another friend has just finished doing modifications to the radiator and mountings for it;











Not surprisingly, I am delighted with how this has turned out!

Oooo very tastey!

Looks very good but the alloy sections welded on the ends of the inlet and outlet look to have quite sharp edges which may damage your hoses if clamped onto....

I'm ahead of you there Ben.........they are welded on ferrules on the ends of the pipes, ready to accept Wiggins connectors;



All coolant pipework will be done in solid alloy pipe with these connectors. No more silicone hose and jubilee clips I hope!

Noting much to update, apart from the acquisition of some split rim wheels.

I have absolutely no idea whether they will fit (in terms of width), but I couldn't resist them as they are a lookalike of the Speedline wheel found on one of my favourite cars, the Lancia 037;





They were originally made for a racing Imp;

They are very cool.

That IMP is very cool
