Cooling system for RV8 in CANAMSA

Okay, have finished plumbing up a cooling system in my mock up chassis. I used a Audi aluminum radiator, that I hope will be big enough. (Cost nothing, from a friend)

The hard piping was free, and is 38 mm OD aluminum tube, originally sold as curtain rails.

Now I just have to make up a partial wiring harness, and sort the fuel supply, before I can start the motor!
