Dommo Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Choice of engine could potentially have been better but the colour is exquisite sir! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Different way of dealing with the coolant there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-H Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah, I wanted a clean looking scuttle and also to maximise cooling. The theory is that the aluminium header will radiate some heat away from the coolant as it leaves the cylinder head, and also some more from the long, straight aluminium pipe to the radiator. It'll only make a small difference but every little helps, and I think it keeps pipework simple and tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burlers Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Welcome Ben, I'm not a million miles away on the Hants border so may meet you at a track day or meet in the future. I'm a regular Hants member. Loving your colours, I've been thinking about Gulf colours with mine, doing the wings, some stripes & details in baby blue, but it hasn't got to the top of the list yet Enjoy your membership & build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westford Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks for the comments Ben, of course it's still work in progress as you might expect now from Westfield owners! If you fancy a meet up sometime send me a message, I only IVA'd last year so it's still fresh in my mind if you need any advice.
