It all took a lot longer than i thought it would - of course - having not anticipated i'd have to replace so many other bits and pieces. Mounting the fan to the rad was a real pain-in-the-ass (rivets required plus had to get all the rust off the old fixing plates) but everthing else was relatively straight forwards: filled up the system with coolant/water mix, turned on the engine w/o coolant header cap on, topped it up as the system drew air in...bled it @ engine side. let it run up to 100 degrees before the fan came in and that immediately took it down to 90 degrees.
I have to say the pro-alloy rad is absolutely a fantastically well-made bit of kit.
Front clam on and wheelarches (PITA).
Left the car @Guglielmi to start work on taking out the gearbox to get at that rear main-seal.....
