Good shout, I’ve actually got a couple of tractors that need re-gassing so may be able to kill two birds with one stone!

I’ve got puma pipework all round and am unsure how to go from the universal fittings that mwmachines sells from the compressor to the fittings ... |

What about a couple of fans either side of the block pushing and drawing the air down and underneath the car?
Unsure about the wideblocks, but there is quite a lot of empty space either side of my na ... |

Not got a bracket sorted yet as my pipes are quite stiff even when warm but will definitely be sorting something soon. |

The pump is fitted in the top hose which then goes into an Allisport m57 specific rad and ... |

Just to add a bit more to this. I was getting higher temps than I liked when cruising on the motorway.
Low revs meant that my water pump wasn’t spinning fast enough and was seeing temps creeping up ... |

I’ll whip the stat out again and have a measure up as soon as I can.
Looks like Marcus at MWmachines is working on a thermostat to help with this problem so I may look into that at some stage.

Ah ok, it might be worth getting a lower flow rate like the 115 model then you reckon?
The stat is a Mahle which is the best I can get to do what it’s supposed to. Tested opening at 88 degrees whic ... |

| Thanks James that’s great. How have you got it wired? Did you use their control box? I might just use a fan temp switch either on the radiator or top hose to switch it on. |

I put it on the dash, just above the center screw by the windscreen, I haven’t stuck it down yet as I wanted to try it there for a bit to make sure it works correctly.
It’s barely visible from my ... |
