Andrew good to put a face to the name at the club meeting last night.

Trolling the forum for some info I spied this thread and thought I'd add some detail.

On the advice of my engine builder, Don Stafford, I've used a 90C water temp sender to trigger thermo fan on. Don's theory is these cars are generally under gunned for cooling so better the thermo comes on sooner rather than later.

I also had a thermo over-ride switch installed when the car was first wired to turn the fan on whenever I want. This may become somewhat redundant as I did previously have a high temp switch trigger but you never know.

I too plan on shrouding the radiator to maximise cooling air effect but currently the system has worked well for me.

Just some food for thought.

So how had you head gasket exploration gone?

Cheers
