We have the Sandown Historics this weekend, one of our major Historic events with people from interstate and overseas all descending on Sandown. (400 cars running)
Just checked the weather forecast for the event.... we had a sunny 30C today, tomorrow is sunny and 31C, and then for the event we go all European, with Friday (Practice day) 22C and rain, Saturday rain and storms with 16C and Sunday cloudy and it drops to 15C! Ill still be there though Schedule and entry list: https://vhrr.com/Competitor-list-sch...ndown-2019.pdf My mate Bryan Sala (I used to run against him in Historic Touring cars) is running his Matich A50/51 F5000. He is quite handy in the wet. Quote:

One for our technical gurus. If I install an electric water pump in lieu of the mechanical version, on my roadgoing MGB, should I remove the thermostat?

How about the supplier of your electric pump? Can they offer any advice based on experience as to what other people have done? |

I have a Davies Craig EWP on my Crossle for the past 6 years, no problems with the installation. Also fitted their digital electronic control box for temperature and fan settings. I would say this is essential for your MGB application. In respect of the thermostat, you should remove it and fit the blanking insert to allow for correct water flow and elimination of cavitation. UK agent is very helpful. E |

Dont you think that removing the thermostat on a road going car will make a very long winter for the driver/passenger? What about the reliability of and engine having to suffer big temp variations?

Picture 055 looks like a Dellow but I wouldn't like to say for certain. I *think* that's Admiral Nelson at the wheel, before he lost his arm. He was a Full Nelson then of course.

Is picture 315 (all cracking pictures by the way) a Cooper-Bristol by any chance? It looks very similar to the car that Roddy McPhearson used to slide (as opposed to strut) around in in the late 70's/early 80's.

Dellow was basically a trials car, rather than a circuit racer, but no it is not, but in the right area id wise.

It’s always nice when they bring the cars out in their original form. Keep the pictures coming
