Marcos Maniacs

Hi Ron,

Sure wish I could go!  But 3,100 miles is a tad too far....

Will one of you guys have a digital camera handy so we can all "virtually 
participate" in your British Car Day?  Post some photos if you can later!

I'm finishing my aluminum front radiator conversion on #7073 today; the 100 
degree F Arizona heat is too much for the side-mounted standard Mini unit -- 
I'm running 85 degrees Celsius already with the side-mounted rad but that's 
only if I generally keep my right foot out of the gas pedal.  I don't want 
to start blowing head gaskets with my new MED high compression cylinder 
head, so I'm installing a custom front aluminum radiator with Spal electric 
fan for the moment.  For my fellow purists, no.. I promise not to cut up 
#7073!  I will have to drill 4 screw holes to properly attach the radiator 
with rubber grommets, but other than that I've managed to design and plumb 
the system in a way that will not require cutting the or modifying the car.  
It can all be swapped back into side-mounted configuration without problems.

By the way, here is a new link to some photos of #7073 here in beautiful, 
sunny (hot!) Arizona:

Have a great time at the British Car Day, Ron!

Best Regards,
Andy Seward
