hi Rich. all ok I hope? I did not have to go to the trouble of bending the pipe as yet, but there may be a need soon. The pipes were serviceable but maybe i will need some help in the future. Fingers crossed for an oil free belly! They should be ok, now. I can always replace with rubber if needs be though thx

no probs, i saw some stainless pipework bent up by packing it full of silver sand (rammed full) crimp the ends of the pipe then anneal the metal... then slowly start to bend it to shape.. the process is the same for copper too... was really interesting to watch !
glad its coming together for you

Engine running
been experimenting with YouTube so here is the clip of the engine running but sadly the true sound doesnt come out. May try with a proper video camera.

Looks to be coming together nicely. For the radiator shroud, check with Shaver in Arizona as he had made reproductions of the two narrow strips that go along the sides of the radiator and the armour. Won't fix your problem for boxing in the fan area but at least it would force the air to be pulled in through the radiator and not around it.
