Don's Elan S4

The Oil Adapter Plate bolts to Oil Pump. The Oil Filter spins onto the Adapter. A snug but comfortable fit. |
The Oil Cooler sits in front of Radiator. Getting crowded! |
 |
 |
A frame to hold the Fans was fabricated from steel tubing. |
The Fans are supported in front of the Radiator, but do not touch the Radiator Core. |
 |
 |
A new fitting added to Radiator top tank for the Thermoswitch. An 82° Water Thermostat and a 95° ON - 85° OFF Thermoswitch work well together. |
The British wires look good, although the Bullets and Sleeves are a bit of a bother to use. |
 |
 |
A hole was drilled in the Exhaust Pipe to accommodate a Bung for a Lambda Sensor. The Bung was streamlined where it intrudes into the exhaust flow. |
Ready for Brazing. |
 |
 |
Finished and capped. The Sensor will be installed to tune the Carburettors. |
The Header Flange welds were very uneven. I was tired of the noise so I cut them to seal against the gaskets. |
 |
 |
An "S' - Bend allows the Exhaust Pipe to follow the under side of the Body thereby "tucking" the Muffler up and away from the ground. |
The finished "S" - Bend. This connects to a 24" long, 1.75" i.d. SuperTrapp Muffler. |
