Today I had high hopes, the electric fan arrived, I wanted to remove the two tubular stays for the U rad bracket, cut and shut them, fit the fan, fit the rad,
Refill the system with antifreeze and fire up the engine to test the rev counter.
It did not work out that way.
The nearside bracket came off okay and was modded painted and re- fitted.

The off side one did not want to come off at all. We argued for a long time,
We fought for even longer, I bear the scars:

In the end, I lost it, and returned to the workplace with the dreaded
CUTTING DISC.
I attacked the stubborn, rusty, rounded, obstinate M.F of a nut with
Maximum violence! That always works! (Ask any terrorist or despot)
Unfortunately I used too much violence and started to cut through the chassis tower which supports the spring. Poosticks!!

Eventually I had it back together, and the unplanned cut welded, but this all took so long, I never got the rad in or the fan on, but here’s a pic of it anyway:
Another day, another dollar……….
