    gonna attempt to pick up the radiator etc on Saturday from Rjes.

    Would you recommend getting the coolant manifold reversed?

    what pipes do you recommend for running to the radiator?

    Cheers

    No need to reverse the cooolant manifold on a bay.

    Today has been a mammoth day.

    a drive over to RJES for the much anticipated Radiator kit and speed sensor and a little catch up.

    from here onto Shardlow to pick up the gearbox, see some vans, boats, lovely people.

    then onto market harbourgh to pick up a teardrop Pod for the T4.

    then a drive home.

    275 miles of sunny adventure.

    Thing's are coming together lovely. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    The company im working for bought me a selection box of heatshrink to, "ensure the jobs done to an acceptable standard"

    I've been cleaning and painting lots of bits.

    I've also been ordering all sorts and that has taken away from actual work being done.

    i also made up a loom for the front of the bus which consisted of heater controls for the heater core im fitting
    .
    Ethernet CAT6 cable for a scangauge trip computer and diagnostic reader.

    a 7core trailer cable to future proof and enable gauges to be fitted and speed sensors to work with the ecu. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Fitted the Eberspacher Heater matrix unit upto the totem pole and starting running the pipes in.

    ive put protective sleeves over anywhere they run through crossmembers etc.

    i then realised i needed to paint the floor so didnt bother clipping them up.

    i also ran more of the loom down the bus. [​IMG][​IMG]
