AH Ha!... Many thanks.
The car is new to me so I'm still learning.
1) It does have an oil cooler
2) And yes,I was referring to the inner wing tie bar... bugger!
3) The radiator is hard mounted to the frame with 3 bolts - 2 at the bottom and one at the top .. i.e has no rubber "bobbins".
If unavailable locally,I will just make up some thick rubber washers to allow a bit of play.
Many thanks for the advice I will get onto it tomorrow.
p.s. Luckily I recently bought a scissor lift hoist - so have been able to raise and lower the car up to 1.4M - its made things 1000% easier.
While I have your undivided attention.. any opinions on
a) aluminium radiator for efficiency of cooling? Perhaps a Mulberry ?
b) Electric water pumps?... (my thinking is that in traffic, engine is barely idling so water flow is at a minimum - not so with an electric pump - usually water flow is proportional to temperature
