Ok been away on my hols so it was back to work last week and sat in the workshop was a alloy rad that i bought from PRC in the States and was 1/2 the cost of having one built in the UK and a new 16" Kenlowe fan that i pick up very cheep off the GTR forum.
Made up some alloy brackets that will be welded on the rad end tanks so i can use the original mounting points on the rad support pannel, (i made a template from my old MSA rad so i know where the fit) .
The Kenlowe fan just bolts up great to the top and bottom of the rad and now comes with its own built in thermostatic fan control and wiring loom.its a great bit of kit.
Still got a lot to do but the list is getting shorter.

Found some time to do a bit more on the car had the brackets welded onto the side of the rad and a top cover made as it looked a bit untidy, bolted the Kenlowe fan in postion and fitted it all this morning before work.

Finished off the RB26 wiring loom last week and spent a few hours on the car today sorting out where to fit it and drill a hole in the bulkhead.
Thanks to Andy & Darren for sending me over pictures of where they drilled there holes.
It all went to plan just waiting for the paint to dry and will pass it all through into the pass side tomorrow.

RB26 loom now installed and have removed the rear roll cage with my dad as could not fit the plastic rear window surrounds as it was to tight and the seats were hitting the bottom of the roll cage so going to do a bit of cutting back.
Onward and forward.

You could have used the old steering column hole Dave!
Looking Good Dave, only a few months left now until the Spring.

A big thank you to Andy Shaw as he brought his car around to the garage today to copy the wiring on the RB engine loom/Z loom.
About 1/2 way through to starting now.
Just have to go to the auto factors to pick up some more car electrical bits tomorrow.
