Believe it or not, these cars are bonkers(thats code for full of character), did any two cars leave the factory the same, I'm beginning to appreciate the complexities for suppliers, and why whenever anyone orders a part, more often than not it needs another duberry furkin to make it fit or even work.

You may have been following my chassis refurb, well the only snags have been with the new replacement parts namely exhaust, where the pattern had been lost and my old one is the pattern for the new one, front pipes only.
And the Radiator, bought an Ally one looks fab fited the F1 panel and its too tall????????????? How can that be, i'm not the first person to buy an ally rad for a speed6, surely, have they sent the wrong one, has anyone had this before.
Board of enquiry is convening for a solution.

I have a radtec one and the later car with the flat f1 panel. And found the panel not to fit and the bleed hole in the wrong place had to make the whole bigger. You might find that the bottom feet are too long. Simple measure your old one and you'll see the difference.

Yep the guys are on it, Nick @ Willow, Tim @ ACT and Darren @ Radtec all chatting to iron out the wrinkle.
With a bit of luck, may be sorted with a hacksaw
