AC has been attended to, and working 100%. No pics, it blows cold, no leaks.
My radiator is running at 190 degrees on my newly functional temperature gauge. Nice to know.
Pretty slick custom fab. Nearly an extra inch of clearance. Still needs a little touch-up with black paint, although I am not remotely concerned with aesthetics at the moment. Factory manifold heat-shield. Clean neat tie wraps, some of them SS where appropriate.
Other view of radiator relocate. Note heat reflective material on the back of the fans.
Do you remember the crushed/flattened bottom of this hose smashed against the IC coupling?
I am happy to report that this wire pictured did not melt on the manifold, instead it was left rubbing against a pulley which caused the damage shown. The throttle cable was also left rubbing on a pulley, but I cannot get a pic down there.
The plug is no longer dangling by the wires. Now it is neatly bolted-down.
All wiring tidied up. Plus you can now open the fuse box cover without disassembling the IC coupler.
All other wiring zip-tied and neat.
CV boot replaced.
Turbo-blanket would not fit with the location and clearance of the oil/water (?) lines. Nor do I think I need it at this point.
I texted Jamie today.
