Major panel work there Blacky.

The P76 rotors are still relatively easily obtainable?

hi mate how did you go with room from front of pulley to rad

mounted the radiator yesterday , didn't take any pics though - there should be plenty of room but not enough to keep the fans behind it unfortunately
radiator is a VK type crossflow

Got the radiator mounts all sorted out last weekend , filled the last of the holes in the engine bay

and started mounting the Cortina rack on the front of the crossmember

Sorta forgot to take pics only got these - removing battery bumps

I’m guessing you’ll mount fans in front and modify the bonnet catch. The blower would make it difficult to move the engine back. Good to see you are finding the time, motivation and focus.

Did a bit more today, got the front end all fabbed up for the Cortina rack and now it's all ready to blast and paint the engine bay and front end

Started the outrigger with a bit of 100x50 RHS
