    Yea, the forum is great for stuff like this. But aeroquip fittings are shiny....we all like shiny!

      Just added a couple of pics from underneath, sorry about the quality i just reached underneath the bumper with my iPhone last night (had to take about twenty, i kept getting pics of the engine mount or the oil filter )

        Very nice, looks like it might be time for me to get rid of that skanky old cooler

          Thats why i did it Newsh! My skanky cooler was dribbling and i really wanted to find a cheaper alternative to buying an extortionate original replacement. More so than the performance benefit, although i think the 13 row works out nearly double the size of the original

            It's a little more expensive but there's also the option of a 19 row cooler - ebay linky.

            James, is there 25mm extra clearance under the slam pannel?

              I'd say so! And you could always make the bracket thinner than mine (5-6mm) to give you more....

                Not sure it's really necessary but an interesting option for sure

                  Its an option for the bigger HP guys. It could probably look better too, if your that way inclined, as it would fill the bonnet grill better.

                    19 row does fit...think those hoses you've got wouldn't fit under the panel though

                      Added part number for the Medium length hose (AHH 8192). Still not 100% on the short hose PN as yet. Will endeavour to find out though.

                          Just about to order all of this and design a bracket to fit it to the car

                            Get it done bud!! The folks at the shop can be a little moody (I think they got annoyed with me because i wasnt buying for an MGB). And they may get confused as the 2 hoses are for different ages/models of MGB. If you use the part numbers they should comply... good luck!

                              Yes mate, will do.

                              When I've done this, I'll look at a cooler for the PAS system, as it can get a little warm on track...

                                Great write up this, as cheap as a replacement original part nearly but this is so much better. Thanks on my to do list!
