And then rad and heater out too. Forgotten what a PITA it is getting the battery out!!!
Heater really has seen better days!!
And the rad really was the original!!
Rad surround d came off ok - had to drill a few screws out so will replace all with stainless when she goes back together...

Spent tonight fitting the new rad fan to the new rad. Direnza rad is great, but lists were fitted in the wrong place so had to grind them off and fit a Elise parts fan mounting kit.
All set up p and ready to go!!

Do tomorrow’s job - fit the new heater and get the battery back in. Then later I the week get the new rad in. Still need to drill out and tap the clam bolt I hacksawed yet too!!

The old plug on the loom is different to the heater, so needs changing:

Air ducting on and all installed - battery connected and fan tested. Works on all 3 speeds!! Good, because I don’t fancy taking it all out again!!

Getting there now, one of the hose clamps for the new hoses failed, so decided to change them all for brand new ones. Don’t want to take this clam off again for a while!! Also, new tow post fitted courtesy of Type116 motorsport,

Also filled the coolant up, did it via the header tank but only took about a litre before full, and the rad was still empty. Maybe it’s because the car is slightly elevated at he front. So, took off the rad bleed nipple and filled another 3 litres in there!!! Still not totally full, but good enough for a run around the block after it’s finished to shake the bubbles out and then top up!!
