Gang,
Having spent the batter part of Thursday evening polishing the coolant
tank I recently obtained, I finally managed to mount it to my Spit. Of
course, it is not in the "Stock" (or bog-standard if you prefer)
location, I am rather proud of what I managed to accomplish. Since my
Mk1 has a 1500 engine and twin 1.25" SU's (with cable accelerator), I
couldn't mount the tank directly in line with the radiator opening.
So I bought a brass Kick Plate at a local hardware store and fabricated
a bracket that allows the tank to mount directly over the air cleaners.
I then had to piece together a hose that does an "S" bend and connects
the two pieces together.
It's done. It Shines. I just hope it works. But it sure looks good.

P.S. I'm going out now and test it out.
