Yes its a squeeze not fully tested but my driving temps seem to have come down so well worth the effort in my opinion just need to find a slim line fan now!

dave you numpty ! you were standing there looking at mine at avon with a front mount metty mk1 rad!! right there !! in front of you !!
lol

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

i've found so far my engine hasnt needed a fan, good job as it hasnt got one fitted!

iain i cant believe you didnt make avon for the first time ive know you you actually had a mini capable of completing the quarter mile then your towcar packed in thats really unlucky.


edit= sorry not a clue whats that got to do with front rads. lol

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

robert :0 i feel a bit embarressed now, i think there was at least 4 roundy minis your included with front mounted rads at avon & i've forgot to/or make the point to look at them :/ i think i've had a lads version of a girly blonde moment lol hehe
what a PLonker!

i was a lil preoccupied with your intercooler setup robert! very tidy i must say!!!!! did it have a rubber bellows on it too! thats superb incorperating those!
if you chaps are'nt having cooling issues with no fan either thats encourging in itself "me thinks" i plan to have a leccy fan, trying to nail one on egay for pennys! not much luck yet though but i'm not desparate for one yet!

i want to run a front mounted rad so i can put my intercooler where the rad was but facing the front with an alloy sheet to duct air to/thruh it, i'l lop my inner wing off too!
