Hi all, some who know me better might have heard me always going on about my engine always running hot.
I finally bought a deep impeller pump. Hopefully this will fix the problem, along with a new alloy radiator. :)

Winner Racing 50mm on eBay, already got it. Quite impressed with the quality for the cost. It's even been polished on the tanks.

There was an article written by Keith Calver suggestion you need to check the running clearance on those deep impellor pumps, as sometimes the clearance between the impellor and pump body can be too great resulting in less efficiency than the tin impellors. Can't remember what the clearance should be.

I'll have to check that out, seems about 1.5 mm.

Update.... The pump and radiator are installed. Radiator just fits, I had to modify the lower bracket and upper mount, also adjust the holes in the cowel.
