Annoyingly I've also ordered a bigger rad. I clearly won't need it with all my speed holes!

I know yours is an engine swap, but I’m curious, given that the Duratec was a standard engine for a few years, why it doesn’t fit. It is close, particularly around the oil filler cap, but did go under a regular bonnet on the wide body cars.

Is your engine further forward, or are you on a narrow chassis?

...or is it the taller 2.2(?) engine?

The body isn't the issue. Its the aerorace chassis which was designed to carry either a K series or early Zetec. The extra bracing gets in the way of dropping the gearbox down.

I literally only need another 5mm clearance for it to fit. I decided getting a new body with a V8 bonnet (current body shows its 10 years of competition use) was a better idea than chopping the chassis up. 

In the mean time I have a few track days book and taking an angle grinder to the bonnet was the simplest option.

Took Ollie (the dog) out in the Westy for a walk around the local country park, making the most of this glorious weather.

Can I check that you got permission to use the pic - often just a case of acknowledging the owner as you have done - but we need to cover ourselves :yes:

reply to Chris King, WSCC Webmaster     no problem .....

as quoted on his facebook page .....  "As with so many events I've been to, one thing leads to another. This time a chat with a snapper at the British SuperBikes at Snetterton led me to this little event on Saturday, The Borough 19 Motor Club Snetterton Sprint 2018.
