This radiator box project is way bigger than I previously thought.
It needs to be done right and look good at the same time.
In my F2 days I never had a budget even close to the opposition so my time was spent cleaning, polishing and making sure everything stayed attached.
I was up against teams with 6 crew members.
Before I started doing my own prep work my volunteer buddies had lots of finger trouble and we went 11 races without a finish.
Mine are the only hands that have touched the liner aside from putting it on the floor for photos.
No conflicts here, I know where stuff fits and how.
Old habits die hard and I even sanded and polished the brackets that fit inside the radiator box. No one will ever see them.
All eight were fitted and refitted over and over to make sure not one part was stressed in any way.
The rest of the guys I know spent the weekend watching sport on TV.
I still have the mounting bungs to install and a few other pieces but she's looking like I imagined.
Delta Rubber, a local gasket and seal company is making me a seal for the lid.
I was going to do a complicated rubber 'O' ring deal where the 6mm rubber was going to be recessed into both the box and lid.
Too much work. A simple system will do fine.
Pics from the weekend. I have to remount the radiator pipes. The Gorilla snot I used never cured for a lack of Cobalt.
