Looking good buddy. It may just be the angle, but that radiator looks a touch small. are you happy you have sufficient volume ?
keep up the good work.

It is small, Richie, you are right! But its also more efficient that the genuine one, so will see. Also electric fan gives a pretty good flow, so so far Im not worried about it - but its still just a theory...
Hopefuly will warm up engine this weekend and test it!

You won't really know until you start driving it buddy, and putting some load onto the engine so to speak.

Radiator
I like the idea of a modern radiator and fan.
In my opinion, if it can't be seen and does the job better then why not. Have you the details of fan and radiator please?? Or what thread was it in? Paul

Paul, kenlow do a good fan. I can recommend a company called Pro Alloy for a modern rad (my last carrier had one) I donated a wrecked original as a pattern and they made me a bespoke rad. Very efficient indeed !! So much so that when we were stuck In heavy traffic in 30 degree heat my carrier was rather hot (over 200deg) normally the flatty won't cool after you reach that temp, but I was able to bring the temp down whilst stationary by raising the rpm slightly.
I was also running thermostats. Contact at pro alloy is Chris Hazel.
