Speedy recovery Guys,had hot water on me from engines but never that bad.

All the best.

That's a nasty nick there Ginge.

Ash must have been mortified. It's bad enough hurting yourself, but being there when someone else is injured is horrific.

Obviously, it's no-ones fault, it's just "One of those things". Bloody painful none the less though.

Just a quick update, I have just spoken with Ash as he was driving down the A303 to drop the car at the show.:D

He went to CBS and got two lengths of beaded aluminium tube then fitted them and ran the car up to temp, whilst stood in the kitchen.:D

The upshot being the fan cut in and the rad cap was venting. So as we suspected our hose connection was to blame.:(

See some of you guys tomorrow at 1pm, I will be the slightly sun burnt one.:p

Ginge mate.
Glad to see ya a bit more chippa.

Can you apologies to Ash when you see him.
I wanted to get out today to give him a hand loading up.
Trouble was the delivery I was waiting for didn't arrive till nearly 4:00:mad:

Have a safe journey down, It don't look like I'm going to make it.
SWMBO......Do I need to say more???:eek:

Youch!! hope your arm gets better that looks awful.
I have a blister on my hand about the size of a £2 coin from leaning on a hot chassis tube this week, idiot! and I thought that hurt at the time but can't imagine what that felt like. I've resisted picking the blister though.

Ironically I read a post on locostbuilders last night when looking up rads about some "beading pliers" that you can get from B&Q put a nice lip on alloy/copper pipe easily.

Heres some links, think you could make these though with an old pair of pliers.
