No problem,

I didn't think they were that heavy now but yeah.

I'm years away from a carbon-8 geddit ? Maybe some sponsorship from Perrier sparkling water lolll

I have other rotary projects lined up ( and a couple of bikes) anddddd finish off the rotus.

I could look to making you summat sooner rather than later if required?

Well that wasn't clever !!!

Was looking under the bonnet of the 8 trying to trace all the heater hoses,

The little outlet on top of the rad that comes from the header tank, well it snapped off in the hose when I was trying to move the header tank.

Must have got brittle over time, can guess what  I'm doing over the weekend

Mr Spiller

Job
Done
I'll have a look in my file in garage
Pretty sure I found drawings on USA 8 site when I was souring out throttle body delete for my turbo
They were coloured red and blue showing flow
Must have been easy to find if I found it

Yep, Jamie, sadly that issue with the rad is incredibly common  :(
