Small progress today as I decided to go to a local (well, an hour drive away) sports car restorers open house late morning which kind of shot my day. Never the less, glad I went to Rag Top & Roadsters open house as a number of friends were there and some very nice sports cars. It was a clear blue sky day, who could resist a couple of hours of back road driving in my Elan S1.......
While fitting the rear bumper it became clear the two of the mounting holes where missing. A quick survey of the interior of the body should they were glassed over. So I mounted the bumper with the two holes that were still open in the body, drilled out the previous holes and installed the bolts, washers and nuts.
The new aluminum radiator had its own issue. It must be the day for correcting things. The threaded hole for the fan temp sensor was threaded 5/8-18. The sensor is threaded as a pipe thread. I didn't have that size tap to re-thread it so off to my friend Drew's garage to use his. Once we got it rethreaded, put sealer on the sensor thread and installed.
