Got the hood on to see if the radiator fits.

 

I am assuming from the flag on the wall that your radio works fine? Mine had cross swords under the crown!

 

hahaha

5 times around my beautiful body, Go!

Nice to meet a fellow British Vet.

 

My bet says yes, it will work. Is your "hood liner" painted on? Looks good, but I dont think a decal would fit that tight.

 

hand painted, with a custom decal I made that says “❤️For John” in metallic bronze.

it fits but only just.

 

Glad to see the progress! So many lights on the front, was it a Rally Car in a previous life?

 

Check the radiator cap pressure.
I fitted one of these alloy radiators and did not realise the cap supplied was 1.2 atmospheres or roughly 17 PSI.
I ended up popping a welch plug due to excessive system pressure build up.
These early Jag systems are set to run at low pressures like 5 to 7 PSI Maximum.
These early welch plugs won't tolerate the very high pressures typically found in modern vehicles.
By the way a couple of old bath towels on the mudguards (or fenders) protects the paint and stops tools and assorted bits sliding off.
Cheers

 

Cap is marked as 17 psi, I’ll search for a lower pressure cap then.. thanks

paint on the fenders is cracking and there’s a ton of small dents… least of my issues atm as will need a full strip and repaint.

Baby steps :-)
