Anybody got a time machine for sale? Time is coming close and I'd dearly like to have the new radiator in, which is reliant on the new bracket for the thermal fans. It's going to be an interesting week. Thankfully a course on next week, so I can sleep during the day, play at night.

See you all soon!

got thermos and brackets here if you get stuck or even a 4 core radiator with twin thermo fans that you can borrow out of my lh will fit straight in.not far up the road from you let me know by wed or thurs .

Hi Neil, i've entered my EFI Orchid LH that was built with some inspiration & ideas from your LX. I'm hoping it'll be there but as the rag joint coupling is cactus it all depends on my being able to replace it before next saturday if i attend or not. Keep your eye out for my car anyhow, i don't imagine there will be all that many Orchid LHs there. Cheers Matt

No dramas Matt, look foward to meeting you there if you make it.

Looking good to make it, this is what would've prevented me going, or worse been disastrous had i not attended to it before leaving for a 500km road trip.

I knew the steering had free play in it which is why i thought it better to sus it out before going, but i didn't expect this. Be safe all Posted Image

Would you sell one of your rubber discs? I've fitted a used Nolathane one i had spare for now until i can find a NOS one or a good second hand original. The Nolathane ones tend to melt in V8 LH-LXs, especialy when they are close to tight fitting headers as what are fitted to my car & the one i fitted today has evidence of that already. In any case, i'm hoping the car will be OK to drive up as this will be my first Toranafest.

Thanks for the offer Rob. I have a new radiator sitting in the shed, just don't want to push the fittings through the core like the current radiator. Good news is I had a good day burning metal today, and the bracket is looking sweet. Just need to spend more time with the finishing welds, so all should be OK. I forgot how much I love TIG. So precise.

The thermo fan bracket, doubles as an undercover bull bar/radiator support protector.

Should have been finished, but some genius decided it would be nice to remove all the mill scale off the steel, by hand with a file. Glad I did though, even though it nearly killed me.

Sounds possibly like j7723 (forum name), he was hoping to make it as a passenger in my car to keep Danny company but Jeremy can no longer make it.....
If its another Jeremy then my apologies but I have no idea.
