Merry Christmas All
I made a filter sock for my engine rebuild, using the foot sock from my wife's panty hose. By cutting them off about 6" long, poking them in though the radiator hose, them folding them back over the radiator hose pipe, then pushing the top hose over the pipe and panty hose, then clamping with the hose clamp.
This cough all the crud flowing around the coolant system hugh amount. I inspected it every couple of days and emptied the crud then refitted it, did this till there was a clean sock.
This worked very well.
Regards
Mike

picked up a new 55amp bosch alternator that bolts onto the series 3 mount that the lucas 14ac used sit on....
got to modify the adjuster bracket but is a nice fit apart from that.

1" BScon tap courtesy of Brian's mate Daniel doing its job... (he has two taps left btw)
doing the welch plugs as well so i don't have to play the game again in the short term.
this is the info on the bosch alternator i sourced.
tried to fit a fan shroud to my radiator but the fan wouldn't fit
spent ages removing the welch plugs and flushing the block out. i got half a litre of crap out of the block...
started stripping the light fittings out of the old guards and fitting the headlights to the radiator support. what a mongrel job and very time consuming undoing 3/16th bolts and nuts that have been in place for 30+ years.
another 10 hours spent and i am dammed if i can see where most of it went....
