Thanks Howard. K

Guys, thanks, I realise it is a bit of a 'how long is a piece of rope' question, I just wanted a feel for whether it was 100s, 1000s or 10,000s PSI. K

Hey, does anyone know the typical peak (fluid) pressures in front and/or rear brake system? K

Nick, sorry to hear about your mum, you have my sympathies. Regards Keith

Andrew, my Tornado has two with 10" propeller diameter. The engine is a std sbf 302. I have run the engine in the past but never in anger. I bought he car with the rad and fans fitted, and I believe it is std Tornado kit. I hope this helps. Other stuff to (perhaps) consider is the water flow...

Andrew, I recall that Bob Woods in Texas did some serious fan tests, search is build log, I'll look too. K

Hi Darren, pretty sure on a standard Tornado all 4 are off a Ford Granada. Tornado have a set for £384. Ebay and plenty of other sellers have them also. K

Welcome Larry, there's a load of helpful forum members here. K

Hi Andy, it continues to look great. K

At least any electrical faults will keep your passenger's butt warm. ;)

Hi Darrin, to flip it on its head, can you think of a more 'risky' place than where the cables and fuses are presently? Sorry, there are so many reasons not to put the electrics there, I deal with electrics and electronics every day,... don't have them anywhere near fuel or fuel vapour. K

Hey Darrin, being honest I'd keep the electrics well away from the fuel filler and tank area. I know rewiring is a real pain. If there are no fuses or wiring in that area, then it is impossible for an electrical fire to start there; with wiring and fusing in that area you can instantly see the...

Oh Trev, sorry to see you go, it's important to scratch the itch with the Italian and be happy. Good luck.

Andrew, looking again at your pix, you seem to have a panel to the rear of the triangular panel that I removed, (the pic I just posted). On the Tornado, when the door opens, part of the door swings into this void, so should not be panelled. Is the Forte different in this area? K

Andrew, it will be very tricky to get the main filler pipes in and connected. I bought a part finished car and had to remove the end panels to get at the pipework, getting the jubilee clips on would have been virtually impossible. K

Hi Brett, Skorpion is right, you will not get any flow in the tee-offs to the heater. Unless the branch pipe goes into the middle of the flow on the larger pipe. What I did with mine was a 45 degree tee for the branch offs. The smaller branch pipe is not flush with the inside wall of the larger...

Looks good Paul, the polished AL looked good too! K

Brett, could it be a blockage in the pipe system outside the slave? If you loosen the coupling into the slave and press the pedal does the fluid leak out, I don't have to tell you to tighten the nut before releasing the pedal. K

Andrew, yes I'll be replacing my drilled-out rivets on those panels with nutserts/rivnuts. K

Interesting stuff Bob, what minimum distance would you recommend for the distance between the fan (on a shroud) and the radiator? K
