Cheers - going to see if i can pick up a decent rad support and modify - if I can get 20 to 25mm I should keep 10-15mm clearance of fan and radiator

Looks good, FJW - but, I bet it sounds a lot better....
I have always wanted a HNH... never found one.... even if it's just "cosmetic" - it makes the right side of the hood lock plate look "balanced"... hated that hole there.. always looks like something is "missing"..

frats,
Rosco

During painting, you're supposed to fill them full of blasting grit, then sell them to someone else. The buyer then tries to fix the shiny black horn, earning a face-full of blasting grit.

Ask me how I know... :roll:

HAHAHAHA - that would make lots of bad words come out Harv - was my own stupidity thankfully - just had to clean the terminals better and they fired up perfect - thankfully did not have to disturb my painting.

Yeah not sure what that was out of - these guys do great work (Ringwood Sodablast) - they did the ute body to epoxy and i couldn't be happier with that result - no loss of seam definition etc and squeaky clean metal.

he does some real exotics in there which are awesome to look at - very good.
