Cheers mi old fruit..... :-)

 

Did you get the fan mounting kit??? I have no idea if I need a new one or not. I'm hoping the ones in already are still going strong...

Our cars are the same age, I had to get new fans as the old ones busted when taking them off. They certainly look a lot cooler...excuse the pun ;-)

I got my braided hoses from my Lotus dealer. (Might as well whilst the clam was off and air con disconnected.) They are Goodridge hoses (TUV I think) and have the correct clamp fitted (to hold them in place on the wishbone), and OEM in case things change regarding braded hose on the MOT. They are £15 each plus vat.

 

I got a Pro-alloy triple pass rad, and the fan relocation kit (and charge cooler rad and Aircon brackets). The fans go on top. They are a bit smaller and need the plugs swapping over. My fans were ok when I removed them (MY04) but one retaining bolt was awkward to get out.

 

I bought all new SS nuts bolts washers etc and fitted the the blower resistor relocation pack (that was fun getting the blower out and back in)

 

Jonny, I want a go of your brakes ... bounce.gif
