If you read my previous post you will have seen the snout of the super charger was where the early 74 radiator connection should be…. Another part of the project is being creative.
The solution I’m working on today includes:
A new aluminum radiator from an earlier style mgb. The 1967 B has the upper connection on the passenger side of the unit. My research discovered that many of the radiators are back ordered with no indication of when they could arrive. That lead me to my current solution of an aluminum version. I ordered one of those today.
Well, the current (74) thermostat housing points to the driver side where the original outlet resides. So, I need to source a housing that points either towards the passenger side or toward the front of the car. The European version does not have the pump bracket and it does point toward the corrected side. So I ordered one this morning from NorthWest British car, in Seattle.
The main reason I began this project was the challenge and the learning. I knew that this is not the Moss kit and could provide creative solutions for it to work. Each MGB is different and I’m learning many of the differences.
Now I’m waiting for the radiator and thermostat housing to arrive. More later.
