I posted earlier about switching to a bespoke radiator and that meant reworking the pipework at the front and making some custom brackets. The facilities at work came in handy again for the brackets as they have a proper machine to apply the 90 degree bend that I needed rather than me just twatting it with a hammer until it fit. So many thanks to Steve for sorting that.
The pipework was fairly easy too, luckily I had enough spare bits now to do the necessary joins.
At the rear, the pipework does get awfully close to the exhaust manifold, looking at some pics I notice that others have wrapped theirs, but there's no way I'm getting that bastard off again to do that, so I'll see how it goes and maybe fashion some sort of heat shield in the future. I did have to move the rear pipework to make way for the fuel system, but it was only changing the angles a little so that worked out ok.
So there we have it, another milestone complete. I'd have finished the fuel system too if the place I ordered the clips from had sent the right amount, god bless eBay.
I now look forward to 4 years in the future when I can finally fire up the engine and put some heat cycles through it all and play spot the leak.
