been having trouble with the metro radiator trying to get hoses
that fit going from mini size to next some up.
metro one is now ditched.
i now have a brand new one which is exactly same size as metro one but off a rover 100 as the hose sizes are the same as a mini.
expansion tank should be made this week too.

The car looks great and is really coming together now!

How are you mounting the Rover 100 radiator? Have you been able to make the factory mounts (if it has any) or did you have to make some up?

[jameswildcooper]

thanks, the rad is being mounted above the intercooler.
got to have some brackets welded onto intercooler that hold the rad.
if the intercooler wasnt there it would go straight on the subby and be a really easy fit in a clubman.

HellO again
Any news on when you will be heading to slarks?
Let me know so hopefully I can go and check get out :)

[jameswildcooper]

hopefully a week on saturday if i get the rest of the bits finished on the car this week/weekend

[Jossen]

That's good to know. I've got an oil cooler currently sitting where you have your intercooler but a full front mounted rad is certainly something I'm thinking about.

[clivemk1mini]

Is it running yet?

[jameswildcooper]

the cars broken before I've even started lol.
engine is coming out the car tomoz as the flywheel doesn't seem to be sitting properly which means the starter is just locking on the fly and jamming the engine.....happy days
