Yep, I'll publish the results of any dyno runs.
Was thinking about the exhaust, I can probably fab one from Jetex parts from Burton. Actually, I'll just get a sports system.
Jeroen, what's your opinion on the manifold?

Looking at your fan circuit, I think that I would feed the relay directly from the battery and the sensor from a switched live.
Exactly what I was thinking!
I found some Weller wheels, I wanted to go Lotus Cortina Style to keep a kind of understated look but I don't think they do the right PCD. I like these though...

Would look good with some plain toledo style centres.
I don't know about manifolding, space is definitely an issue - but you must have seen that cupwinning Mallard 1850 and it's amazing stainless banana bunch, a real work of art! And if one has been made, another can be!
I can see the sense in the fan wiring displayed, but I don't like switched earthing and i too would go for the perm live relay and switched live to sensor, it's just EASIER!
On wheels, those Wellers look JUST like MGF Steel spare wheels (save that the F wheels are 14") but much more expensive!
Have you considered the 5.5 x 13 so called GT6 competition wheels (they are actually nothing of the sort, they were made by Dunlop for Formula Ford racers in the 60s which used Triumph front suspension) They have that distinctively Triumph multiple oval holes pattern and readily accept a Spitfire (black or silver plastic) or GT6II (Chromed monkey metal) wheel centre. They are just like Spit 1500/DollySE rims - but wider! I ran them on my GT6 convertible back in the 80s, they were exceptionaly well made and given correctly fitted tyres, NEVER needed balancing. Not cheap anymore and you might have a bit of grief with the offset, but worth a look, also the much cheaper and easier to source very late 1500 Spit 5js. The ultimate choice, of couse, is some period Wolfies or similar slotmags! Thanks for the fan pricing structure, i'll have to give that some thought!
