Finaly have had got the brackets fitted to the Custom Rad, so its all ready for fitting. I also have a very cool thermostat controler for the fans (when i get the new ones!) which fits inline on the top radiator hose which works out just right as with the new rad i needed a longer hose but due to cost just had the normal manta B one made.

Now i have those bits i can get on with the finally finishing off the engine. I still have a few little bits left to do before we are ready for starting up but i hope to be nearlyready for a test by the end of march (this year!!)

So bits left to do: Get the trigger disc for the injection machined to fit the pulley, put original cam and rockers etc.. in, paint and fit starter and alternator, final coat of pant and then build back up the gearbox and fit and work where the rest of the injection wires go 🙂
