Determined to refit the rad, I cut some bits of alloy, drilled and shaped them and
riveted them on to the sides of the radiator. Then fitted the fan.
I bolted the whole lot back in the car, then noticed that while I had been doing all this work, the top and bottom hoses had mysteriously shrunk by a couple of inches.
Surely lowering the radiator could not have caused that?
Then it hit me that it was Saturday, and as we all know, car shops close at mid-day.
Better rush………… having gone to several factor places and being met with blank looks by the minimum wage Saturday morning kids, I headed for the scrapyard………….
I managed to get two hoses that will do for now, and fitted them, re-filled the system with antifreeze.
Now to start the engine and test the rev counter, click click click click!!!!! Oh no!
Flat battery, For F***s sake!
I shall have to charge the battery,
I’ve a good mind to charge it with “conduct likely to cause a breach of my aorta”
But I didn’t, I plugged it in normally, and went out for a beer……….
