Still cannot lift anything heavy or stretch though
The cooling system seems a good place to continue - i.e. a good visible progress return for a the effort to get me back in the build mindset.
Top tube
Thermostat housing -> GBS water rail -> Stainless extension tube -> RadiatorNote to self - face the top tube front clips downwards or underneath inboard for access when the nose is on.
Bottom tube
Radiator -> Stainless tube -> Water pump
One of the reasons I bought GBS over other marques was the simple cooling system - it just doesn't need to be more complex than this!
Support bracket
Detail of the front end, showing the 2x cable ties on the middle of the bottom tube which support it from the steering rack brackets:
It all went together easily, just a little care marking up and cutting the hoses, then push together & jubilee clip. The support bracket on the bottom stainless tube took longest, it just needed bending into the right shape, touching up with black hammerite, and cable tie base mounted.
Heater Take offs
No take offs for the heater at this point - the heater is planning only & will only go in after IVA (I think?) When I do I'm intending to take the hot water feed from under the elbow at the thermostat, and send the cold return back into the top or side of the elbow at the water pump.The only remaining parts are the overflow pipe & tank. I need to consult before I move ahead with them & identify the correct routing.
