Car had the slim plastic and alloy radiator on when I got it. Fan was running all the time. So new Coolex one on now IMG-20240622-WA0007.jpg.36a6828768e416e6660422378e5bc653.jpg

Washed the Lotus after a 1500 mile tour of Scotland. Sadly the roads were not too kind 😢

Swapped the cast iron one for a alloy bell housing, but had to cut the starter motor casing off as it clashes with the chassis.

The original foot plate weighs a ton so you will be glad you made this, I like it! I hope you have some blue and orange paint 😉

Thanks to Sean for delivering the Devon and Somerset Area flag to me recently, good to finally have it available for events.

It only had a spike with it and a rather large base which you fill with water, so I thought I would make something more compact from bits and bobs I had around the garage, but mainly some aluminium tube from a broken camping chair, some threaded rod and a couple of blocks of wood. After a couple of false starts, this one works well, just needs a sand down and a coat or two of paint.

If anyone's interested that Meguiars worked a treat, got rid of the minor swirls and not too aggressive. Helps its only half a car.
