Hi Guys,
Got a bit done on the Cobra over the week end. I got the radiator mounted and made up some stainless radiator pipe work.
After seeing how neat and tidy looking Leeroys stailess radiator pipes were I thought I'd try making a set myself. I did these using off the shelf 316 stainless mandrel bends and tube and then cut and welded them together. They have turned out pretty good. I've still got to linish back the welds on the lower pipe and polish it. The 316 stainless comes up like chrome with a little work. The couplings are a fibeglass reinforced silicone hose and should be plenty strong whilst having a bit of flex for the motor to move.
Here's a pic:

One more step closer to engine fire up. I better pull finger If I want to get to the nationals.
Cheers
