    I ordered 2 different types of weld on hinges as I couldn't decide. Both allow the cover to lift off by sliding. The ones on the left have tabs which will make it easier and stronger. The ones on the right will look better. Decisions Decisions... Any ideas?

    Well I cut the rad cowling with a dremel so I didn't touch the rad. Many many discs later it was done. I changed blades to clean up the cuts, sneezed and nicked a coolant channel in the rad. So annoyed. I've ordered some flux core aluminium brazing rod to try and repair it in situ. If it doesn't...

    Straight into the next job. The van runs hotter at motorway speeds but perfect at slower speeds or stationary. It's not the lack of air to the rad that's an issue.. it's getting it out the back of the rad that is the problem. When I made the rad cowling I wanted the fans to pull air through the...

    Some did. I wanted my battery as close to the axle as possible. Can't put mine under the footwell as there is a secondary radiator in the way

    Had to sort these out before I fit the battery box as once it's in I can't access the wiring. Really nice little LED units from Carbuilder solutions.
