Hi Ira:
=20
I am not familiar with the direction of air around the radiator in the =
BN4, however, the BJ8=E2=80=99s has deflectors built in to the frame in =
front of the radiator, but, not for the wind that drops down under the =
radiator. So the introduction of the shovel from the frame to the =
radiator produces a hurricane velocity up and through the radiator on =
the BJ8. That alone should be sufficient to cool water. But it does not =
move the water very fast through the engine back to the radiator, =
especially under low rpms. So I have introduced an electric water pump =
(Aussie idea, as it does get hot down under) to keep the flow of water =
through the radiator to the engine through the water pump and back to =
the radiator. it adds 150 liter per minute to the trickle produced by =
the mechanical pump. I fact one of the listeners commented that he =
could turn off the fan and just keep the water pump operating on highway =
speeds. It was easy to install using existing hoses cut in half going =
from the bottom of the radiator up to the inlet on the engine, and 2 x =
1/8th diameter holes in the thermostat to allow the water to flow during =
engine warm up.
=20
After a run, I keep both the fan/EWP operating for a few min after the =
engine shut down which helps to reduce flashing of the hot water. And, =
I have a large radiator overflow container to absorb boil over.
=20
Why do you think most cars and trucks have electric fans, overflow =
containers, and some have an electric water pump. 21st century =
technology verses our 20th century. They even have AC power steering =
etc. systems as standard equipment.

Best regards,

Subject: [Healeys] air ducting kit
=20
I have not had my grille in my BN4 for a long time and it has become an =
identifying feature of my car. I have a grille, I just have had various =
reasons to not instal it. I like the Rally grill look and have been =
looking at the Cape International kits to accomplish the look. Plus =
anything that directs more air through the Rad cores is good .
So has anyone done this or another kit?
