Thanks Bob,that’s very a comprehensive reply.I will look them up and pay a visit to see what they say.I’ll keep the forum informed as to what happens in case any one else need rad repairs.

Hi all,any recommendations re radiator repairs? I am in the Romford Essex area so needs to be fairly local .Its a series MM rad,if that makes any difference.
Thanks,John.

Yes,I thought the same thing but they are the same way as in your photo.
To be honest I have tried both ways and seen no difference in the over
heating problem!

Photos of fan/radiator.

Still attached Alan.
Phil,my fan is much closer to the rad than that photo shows.Cast iron pump but blades seem shorter too.

Hmmmmm,anyone got the later type switch? Had a look at mine but only got it working very erratic.

Hi all,in view of my recent/past overheating problems,which way do the fan blades mount on the water pump? Mine are mounted with the strenghtening struts facing the radiator,I think this is correct but am sure you lot can confirm or condemn! Now checked EVERYTHING but cannot find any obvious problem...

Only overheats at speed,fine when moving slow or idling.

Thats interesting Phil.I will fit the thermostat back in and try it.All engine and hoses and rad are completely clear.
Thanks all for your input.

Hi Guys,my original bakelite indicator switch has taken to turning itself off too soon.Is there a repair available for these? Or does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks,John.

Hi all,anyone got an aluminium thermostat housing for my ‘52 sidevalve lying around they no longer need?
Thanks guys.

Thanks mate.

Hi all, anyone know what valve fits the series MM '52 wheels?

Hi all,anyone got a series MM speedo lying around they no longer need?
I`m driving to France soon and mine gave up the ghost over the weekend.It just decided to self destruct.
