Sandwage plate, with thermostat. Plus metal cover cap. Gave them a sand and polish before fitting it on the car, but haven't got a photo yet. Mounted the oil cooler so it would sit in the side vent of the bumper, wasn't the easiest place to mount it. I had to customise the front crossmember, make some brackets, and customise the oil cooler slightly. But after all that I got it mounted where it needed to be. Also made some ducting / panels. so no air can escape around the edges. It's all forced through the oil cooler, not being lost around the edges.

Not been much to report lately. Got my oil feed and drain lines sorted. Had all my engine bits back from the powder coaters so I can start putting everything back together! Had my Brembo calipers done at the same time. I got a quote to have them refurbished by a well known caliper company and they quoted £250 to do the calipers. Extra if they had to replace seals etc.... I bought a new seal & bolt kit for £59 delivered. Came with lines, bleed nipples, Caps, bolts, seals & dust boots. The powder coaters charged me £20 a side to blast and coat them. Decals where £10 for 4 Hi

I have to agree Jay. I only got mine as it was cheap and I fancied a new daily
