Improved Cooling on a 4/4

This 4/4 shows a Mulberry aluminium radiator installed. After changing the Crossflow to a Zetec, the original 1979 radiator was unable to cope on hot days and at times when the engine was working hard. The solution was to fit a much larger radiator.
[ Grille ]
The aluminium radiator is visible behind the oil cooler.

[ Fan ]
The radiator is installed slanted back. This leaves room for an electric fan in the optimal "pull" configuration. The radiator was constructed to use all of the available space.

[ Below ]
The matrix cooling area is maximised.
[ Expansion ]
A neat expansion/header tank is located on the bulkhead.
