Hi All,
As an TF owner of 1 month I’m about to begin some modifications/upgrades.
These will include the coolant alarm kit from B&G, the replacement of the plastic radiator filler cum bleed point and possibly the Mike Satur kit for improving the air flow into the radiator.
My questions are:
Has anyone done the radiator airflow kit? It’s the one with I think four pieces of aluminium. If so what do you think about it?
The original plastic radiator filler thingy apparently can fall apart when attempting to remove it, when I try removing mine and that happens is it just a matter of drilling (carefully) out the remnants?
Regards,
Michael.

Re: TF upgrades.
In an emergency it is the same thread as a spark plug!
Re: TF upgrades.
Beware. There are different MGF radiators with different plug sizes. Many years ago a lady arrived at Gaydon with a broken plug.
No problem say I, Here is a new plug. OEM PYP100500. It did not fit. At that time there was only one OEM radiator and plug so I told her that she has an aftermarket radiator. I received an angry response and told that it was a new Original just fitted. It was trailered back to Devon or Cornwall
Even Rimmers sell aftermarket radiators so anyone check what you have.
My spare OEM plug remains in the car
