Re: Group Build: Lotus Super Twelve

Not got much done during the holidays, but now i'm back on the horse again !
Must finish this beast because my next project is on it's way from HLJ..

Today I have been working on the cooling system to get this 6-liter machine to work properly.
I have extended the main radiator downwards so it peeks out underneath the nose cone.

To add cooling area of the radiator I made two secondary radiators that will sit on
each side of the nose cone connected with brackets (the copper wires) to the main
radiator. They will be plumbed with hoses to a thermostat on the main radiator.

Not a pretty solution, but this machine is not about beauty, just brutal power and functionality...

Here are some pics of the mock up. Need some adjustments of the positioning to go
free from the fenders
