I saw a few different mods to aid cooling at the lastest BBWF.
Be interested on some more details.

There was the old classic of removing the feed to the plenum (you can also remove the base but you need to fill the holes.)
This make things look a lot nicer and easier to remove the rocker cover, the heated plenum is not needed in the UK climate.

I did see some people have added swirl pots as per the Later GRIMMS be interested in some more info.

Also the Hatter swapped the feed to the bottom of the expansion tank to the bottom of the radiator instead of the top. and tidyed up some spaghetti of small hoses. which he says has made a vast improvement in flow.

be interested in some thoughts, esp as the Wedge design has always been problematic even with all of the early changes.

I think I need this doing too ... I have a spare plenum heater, I might just fill it with liquid metal & just make a spacer out of it.
If your going to liquid metal it, then just take them plenum off and the heater and seal the 2 though holes with liquid metal. or use dome head bolts and thread lock to seal the holes.
