Skippic Saturday - New Alu Rad...







As My Gril Mount of The Old Copper Radiator Broke of Last Week...
Desided to Put in a New 3 Row Alu Rad.
I Noticed That My Temp Was A Bit Strange...
And Because For This Job Had To Drain The Coolant Anyway
Desided To Check and Replace The Thermostat Anyway...
Well.... as Far As There Was Any In It 🤷‍♂️ It Was Just A Revet...
That Explains...
Had to Make Some Minor Frame Adjustmens But Thats Been Sorted


As I Don't Like The Plastic Drain Plug / Petcock Wit Rubber O-ring
And It Was Leaking at My First Test Drive...
Drained All Coolant Again and Will Put In A Brass One Today
and Then Take It For A Test Drive, Hoping Its Good To Go!? 👍

  1. A little confused here Skip. Is this one of the Jesters rods? Or is it one of yours? About that revet/flat washer used in place of a thermostat, sometimes it works, but usually not. Better to replace with proper part. 😉

  2. This is my latest found JS, so im the owner now. I Know this rod for over 15 years and always liked it, been swapped owner few times since then... Never could lay my hands on it until Last time, so I went for it ;-) She's a real good fast driver. Doing some minor modifications / upgrades but for the most part she's good.

  3. About the washer... Agree, when you're in a hot area it could work, but overhere with changing seasons I thought a thermostat would be good to have ;-)
