Wooki3 the L60 Handivan

Just something to be aware of. Std cams will likely be no issue.

Keep up the great work.

And now I’ve ordered head studs from ARP, genuine ones too and made in the USA. They are actually to suit Honda d16z but they fit CB, which means they fit AB and AD.

Well this turned up earlier than expected.

I rolled Wooki3 into natural light for the first time in 3 years. After pumping up the rear tyres and getting them back on the car. I have found a new enthusiasm for getting the car going again.
I think despite wanting to coat the car in copper coloured ceramic, I really want to go with more Rustoleum Gloss Berry Pink .

Well after some absence I made a new part for the new electric cooling pump. I didn’t say water pump because I won’t be running a water based coolant.

I’m looking forward to buying an aluminium radiator for a classic Mini and modifying the tanks to suit the size restrictions of the L60 chassis with the pump mounted to the bottom tank

Check out Honda radiators also. Some are fairly small and tend to be lower priced due to the abundance of modded Hondas.

They sit a bit proud over the radiator support bar but I’ll get my measuring stick out again and have a look

Progress on the inlet manifold.

I would love to say the the first inlet manifold is progressing well…

I moved onto another design which utilise the original inlet with a bolt in adaptor. I still need to move the thermostat housing.

so the adapter won out in the end?
Great work! :slight_smile:

I realised that once the other manifold was assembled that I couldn’t weld everywhere needed to seal it all.

Another piece of the puzzle. This is the new outlet from the manifold to the radiator top tank. I also have decided to delete the thermostat and control coolant temperature with the electric pump

I am capable of making that, if it becomes an issue.

Made a template in bakelite.

I followed that shape down for 19mm.

I flipped the piece over and started hogging out. I should invest in a roughing end mill to speed things up.
