Sorry Boet. Still thinking about that lekker braai and the stunning flight back. Thanks a moerse lot man. Dit was wraggies lekker om daar saam te kuier. Please say thanks to the missus as well for her gasvryheid. We hope to see you soon again for n kuiertjie, not repairs. Now the training starts and I'm just praying for good weather. So many hours so little wind :lol:

It was nice having all you raasgatte around for a while. The silence after you all buggerred off was deafening, and I felt VERY lonely. Whenever The Fairest gets oppressing, come look for some solitude here. You are wellcome!! vhpy :!: vhpy vhpy

When I flew EPH back from Loeries we landed at Saldanha and noticed the one bracket on the radiator had fractured off. The radiators (Water and oil) were fastened to the front of the engine. I repaired it there and flew back to Morning Star. An hour later the other side fractured off.

I decided I liked to keep them there but we needed to hang them from the firewall instead of the engine. Also some the inlet pipes of the water radiator were very close to the front exhaust headers and the piped needed thermal bandaging to keep them from melting on the 800deg C headers.

So I took the radiator off and sent it to Silverton to move the inlet pipes outward. Ranger and I then spent last weekend fashioning up some brackets using 12mm, 1.6mm steel tubing. After Ranger welded and cleaned it up he sent it in for powder coating. Saturday we spent the day installing the radiators. They are now cradled solidly away from the engine.

Thanks to my mate Ranger for all the Help

PS Gadget quality controlled and wiped the fairing clean afterwards.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: MY Explorer is now covered and doped silver. Doors and windows fitted, firewall made up and boot cowl to fit next. Going to be a taily, for a change. Still got to build the wings, busy scratching together the instruments required by law. Only. I want to sit and watch the world move by...... vhpy vhpy
