[/url]Got a few more bits done in my free time today:


dug out my oil cooler cleaned it up and made progress fitting, fist up finding a sandwich plate bolt long enough to accommodate the mocal thermostatic plate in addition to the oem heat exchanger.

Interestingly the bolt from an xud11 engine is almost the perfect length

Got the new rad in place and reconnected , plus a pair of new 10" slimline fans all mounted up nicely


gutted the original fan cowling out for the wiring loom so that the new fans will work exactly the same coming on high speed with the override and when the thermostat opens as it should, just need to find somewhere to mount the the relay box tidily now


soldered spade connectors onto the new wires so I can heat shrink them after installation for waterproofing


Next up was fabricating some brackets to mount the oil cooler, cracked out the welder after making some brackets and got busy. Annoyingly ran out of gas half way through but the welds are solid enough for purpose so I'm happy


The finished product


Just spent half an hour or so cable tying all loose wiring and oil pipes so there's enough slack to account for engine movement but tight enough so nothings touching or rubbing.

Back to it in the morning!
