This is mine. Modified piping to face the correct way it just runs along the back on the starter. Doesn't rub anywhere so I'm happy with it. It's nice and out of the way too and not that hard to get to

You might want to put a hose clip on that water pipe

I changed the angle the inlet into the radiator goes, it's now angled 45 degrees towards the front of the vehicle the thermostat cover has been replaced with a mini item, the hose runs over the top of the gearbox, simple and neat.

 

I might try and get some photos up on my build thread soon...

Yep nothing really changed to how it flows just moved the outlet locations by cutting and re-welding, don't worry you can tend to over think simple things. We've done it a lot haha if it helped then great! That's why it's here hope these few pictures help. I've literally just baked it in the oven to set the paint on it so it's fresh for photos lol

well considering that was just to get the routing right and it's off the car now then there wasn't any need

[thelegg]

Lol glad I'm not the only one with a flooded garage

Those photos are even better!

One suggestion from me, where the pipe goes into the waterpump there's an outlet just before it that you'll plumb into the car heater I assume (unless you bypass it?)

I moved that outlet along the pipe to the right meaning I got rid of a length of hose that ran parallel with it before it joined the origional mini plumbing. I'll get a photo tommorow if its helpful at all

I've plumbed all that ready pretty much although moving it along may have been an idea but oh well its done now. I'm removing the valve for the hot/cold system as it's utterly pointless. If I ever do ha e the blowers on its usually to warm things up anyway othe raise I just have the window open. Currently cleaning the engine ready to paint it as the aluminium looks a bit shabby...

I do agree with that and plan to do a valve delete in the summer when I get around to it. I'm a windows open kinda guy anyhow.

I looked at mine today and I think I can reroute my piping similar to yours but shall investigate further. As I've had three engines I have two spare metal pipe parts I can cut up and play with

Keep your updates coming bud

me too, even if it's cold I have the window open. Love a bit of fresh air and the sound of the car! As long as the project keeps going well ill keep posting. It's my first time posting anything like this lol but I'm surprised I've stuck to it this long haha

[thelegg]

Haha It's far to hot with the window shut, agreed keep the updates rolling :)

[Shingler4596]

So today managed to get the alternator almost fully mounted. Did the bottom mount just need to do the top. It lines up great! Just need to think on a tensioning method now then I can get the correct sized belt.

Might be my eye sight lol but it looks like you've just welded the bolt onto the engine mount ?

[Shingler4596]

It's a sleeve that a bolt goes into
