The tying up of the same to the engine. The bottom water pipes and drain cock. We must call your attention to the fact that the bend on the water pump cover has been modified to suit the layout of the water pipes. Also the fixing of the bottom tank of the radiator to the cross channel has been altered in centres to make room for the radiator outlet pipe. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
