Where do you get a filter for your upper radiator hose or how can one be
made up.

I am no expert in thermodynamics. However, in my BN7 race car I replaced my
stock double-core radiator with an aluminum radiator from Denis Welch.
Maximum
temperatures were reduced by 30 degrees. The radiator is also much lighter
than stock. One note of caution: the aluminum radiator cannot be easily
rodded
out like a steel radiator. Result is that it quickly can get plugged with
junk
(don't ask how I know). I run an in-line filter on the top water hose, and I
clean out the filter after each race.
