BDR 1178 has arrived! and a couple questions

[chicagocat]

Thanks guys,
Mine has a pusher and puller fan. This is because of the wife acceptance unit mounted in the trunk (the air conditioner). I've sometimes felt that the pusher fan can be more of a hindrance than a help with regard to air flow, but I'm not sure. I haven't run the A/C at all other than to test it.

Thanks Gary, for the advice on a thorough check over.

Also, if the cover won't fit in the trunk it seems pretty useless to me. BDR said it would, so I don't imagine they'll have any problem with me sending it back for a refund.

Good luck with that. The top fits in the trunk if you don't have an air conditioner mounted back there. It's further complicated by a second roll bar but will fit.

Right, but BDR built the whole car, including the AC, and said the top would fit in the trunk. Anyway, I'll work some more on it tomorrow and see what I can figure out.

Also, I spoke to Craig from BDR today about the top and he wasn't sure, but said if I wasn't happy that they'd take it back. So no problem there.

I'll also bleed the cooling system and see how that effects running temp.

Thanks again

Check your timing. It may be a little retarded.
