160 amp alternator finally arrived from the states. It has a slightly different rear configuration including being slightly smaller which means it has more clearance. Now i need to sort a radiator, i have the one from the statesman but the bottom hose outlet and trans line pipes are placed out where the inner guards are so will require me to cut the panels to route the hoses and pipes.

1.2mm zincseal, could possibly go thinner though but then you get the chance of more distortion.

Hi Mr Taz,
You are doing an awesome job and progressing quickly.
Just remember your steering wheel must collapse toward the firewall, slide off the tabs toward the engine.
Mate you certainly have the fabrication skills well done.
Regards Greg
