Well done Midge. There are quite a number of Scotts In Australia and if you have not met any yet contact Steve Enticott who should have contact details
senticott@optusnet.com.au As regards the Radiator, then I respectfully disagree with the design of the radiator for the normal 3 Speeder.
The point I have reservations about is the practice of positioning the bottom fixing hole immediately above the bottom hose outlet. This leads to clogging with calcium if the bike has been used in hard water areas. In fact I much prefer not to use a bottom fixing and let the rad hang on the top two fixings only. The bottom is controlled by the short pipe from the head / water jacket and this causes much less stress. I use a less wide two speeder radiator, as it is less likely to get damaged if I crash the bike during a track event. I asked Graham Moag to remove the bottom fixing to give better flow and I can use all 42 bhp for long periods with no overheating. Welcome to the Clan. Kind Regards Roger
