Cooling bits

Made a bit more progress on the cooling system, the idea as taken from Dave Powells Crazy Spitfire Blog, where a swirl pot is used after the coolant leaves the water pump, the excess from the top going to the radiator expansion tank along with water from the bleed off on the radiator. The coolant is then drawn back into the main system to a point just before the water pump, to get it to rejoin here has been a bit of a pain as most readily available "T" pieces only have 1" outlets, which is too big for what I want. So instead I have made my own "T" piece from two joiners by cutting a 5/8" one in half and sticking into the side of the other. It was a nice tight fit between the two and then chemically bonded together with JB weld, should be interesting to see how it holds up.

Been struggling for a while to find a fan for the 205 radiator, but struck lucky when I won a fan from a Nissan Micra and it is even a "pull" type, so it can be mounted behind the radiator, reducing the restriction to the flow of air.
I have been able to cut off the excess mounting lugs, it had three but only two roughly lined up, the third would not line up with anything I could bolt it down to. However it does all sit well on the rad, will just have to wait and see now.

Back in the car I have been laying a bit more of the sound deadening down again, trouble with that stuff is if you start putting it down in one position there is no chance of being able to lift and reposition it, guess that is probably a good thing though.
