Hi Doc, yes it was never to be permanent, it was to find out where the issues lay. THe EL fans I had on it were great in the pits but on the track wouldn't allow enough natural airflow so the car overheated.

I now have a custom 8.4mm centre 4 core rad in it with 1 only unshrouded fan. Even at Winton I know don't need the fan on and she sits right on the thermostat when idling in the pits.

I'm still tempted to throw an underdriven pulley on the crank to slow up the waterpump speed.

Cheers Graeme
