Subject: Waterless coolant - Sunbeam Tiger - Perth W.A.
Hi,
I have a "hot" Sunbeam Tiger.
It is very difficult to keep cool on days > 30C!!
It has a 302W running high compression etc etc.
Do you think the waterless coolant would help?
Is there an Agent in Perth?
I'm going to Philip Island for the Historic meeting in March. Is this coolant
able to be packed/flown in my luggage?
Thanks for any info.
Cheers

slower than Gary Flood....way back in the 60's!! Does he still ride?

Hi David,
Hard to say ? we find that using the Evans NPG+ actually increases the running
temps by between 5 to 10 degrees c, but the product has a much higher boiling
point.
No we do not have an agent in Perth, we can send the product to you by post.
I dont think the Airlines would like to see it airfeighted.
The Evans NPG+ sells for $ 79.43 per US gallon ( 3.77 liters )
Nope, Gary dont ride anymore, but runs the place here now.
Regards
Wal
MY THOUGHTS....
Very expensive...but then again a cooler Tiger is priceless!!Increased running
temp not good but not being able to boil is better.My car has only ever puked
once (at Wanneroo road race track) when it was 42C. So normally it just runs
hotter than I'm comfortable with. When it puked I had to stop!Think I'll try
thermo bypass blanking, then heater elimination, increased size of lower -
below rad air dam, shutting hood(bonnet) I have it jacked up at rear but have
read this is very high pressure air at rear of hood and may in fact be
worse.Temps here in Perth forecast 38C+ for next week or so....I'll see if I
can attach some of this and send it over to the US, some of the kind
responders mentioned they coulddo with some of our excess. Wait, can't attach
things on this forum....drat!
Thanks again for all the wisdom here on this invaluable resource.
Cheers
"Hot" David Tweddle
