I'll get some more pic ups tonight,
Progress, mounted the radiator, well at least the top mounts, I used rivnuts rather than welding the top mounts as I want to check the fit with a nose cone later one, once checked I'll weld on the bottom mounts.
Fixed my thermo housing by filing the ali away from around the snapped off steel pipe, got about 10mm clearance and using a cut off from an old coolant pipe with a flaired end I welded it on. Should work ok.
I've also started work on an alternator bracket. I've had to mount it the other side as the westfield exhaust manifold meant I needed to move the engine mount to where the orignal alternator bracket was.
I think I've got it to clear the carbs and the steering rack and I'm using the sierra alternator belt.
The good news is come post IVA zetec fitment everything is where it needs to be so it should be a easy swap.
