[barrington]

hi chaps can anyone tell were i can get the small bracket that holds the hotter switch in the rad from or if anyone has a spare this is the bracket im after on superwedges car cheers

Hotter or otter,
you mean the sprung one?

Just refitting a replacement rad, and doing away with the laughable set up for the otter switch that TVR installed.

The rad guy is welding on a "tapped" block to accept a standard (easy to source) off the shelf switch.

Because sourcing one of ours is gonna be a nuisance !!

ive got a brand new rad that came with the car in the boot it has just got a hole in the slde if i cant get a clip ill try and find a place in essex that can mod it for me

could not get the bracket so i have had a threaded boss fitted by a local rad company so just need new switch what is the recomended temp for the switch cheers

[jmorgan]

Cannot remember if I gave mine away. If I can find it.....?

I had the hole sealed up and fitted an inline switch elsewhere.

just got one from my local motor factors (80-85 degrees) £15.00 Non model specific two connections. (22mm thread)

Recently rebuilt the cooling system on my 400. I replaced the useless otter switch with an M22mm boss which opens up a whole lot of possible replacements including adjustable.Had the original hole sealed and the new hole cut at the front under the top inlet. The otter can be removed easily now with the rad in situ. I currently have an 80 degree switch fitted. Must admit I have not used it on the road since fitting due to other jobs on it but 80 degree maybe a little low.

Yeah, its the original casing. Never had any over heating issues at all so kept it as original apart from the new core and otter switch.
