The tropical modification for the radiator (partially blocking off the half inch bypass hole in the radiator) for reference as a proof of concept we used a tubeless valve stem that had been shortened and the valve removed pushed on a piece of rod into the hole.
This will be soldered up in the future apart from a 2mm hole
The end result is its much better probably 5 degrees cooler on average
Ongoing testing will be done next week when the vehicle is used out bush.
