When mine arrives I will take it to a small foundry and get a cost for a limited run. If it comes up less than the very expensive English ones, I will have some made and sell them at a reasonable cost. :D

lower metal radiator elbow

Hi, as I am converting a LHD Tiger to a RHD, I have only now realised there is a alloy elbow in the lower radiator hose assembly. Anywhere I could obtain one?

There is a lot of information about the ford 260. Ford made the 260 and other sizes using the thinwall process to save weight. Great for a builder, not a rebuilder.

I have now decided the cost of fitting the EPAS system is far too high. It was estimated to cost over $3,000 for the finished unit even when I supplied the epas and the alpine column.

I am now changing to a Mazda MX5 power steering rack and a electric/hydralic pump.
