I’d finally finished painting the aluminium pipes for the cooling system so got those fitted – quite pleased with how it looks!

Just need to secure them now. I’ve knocked up a right angle to go from the passenger side engine lifting point which should secure the long pipe. The elbow from the water pump gets scarily close to the fan belt but I can use the outlets on the pipe after it to ‘pull’ it away.

Spurred on, the coolant header tank got attached to the scuttle. I think I spent more time looking for instructions that actually fitting the thing – there’s nothing in either manual. Fortunately the odd looking piece of aluminium that I always wondered about revealed it’s true purpose.
