Radiator filter when playing by Retro Pedro on Fri Jan 28, 2011 10:39 pm
Talking to a fella during the week regarding protecting the radiator from crud when playing at Pay and Play sites.
He was telling me that he used to scretch a nylon tight over the rad to act as guard against silt penetrating into the fins. At the end of the day, just took the tight off and all the crud would fall to the ground.
The only downer is that you will have to expand the old lady upto size XXX so that when you nick her tights, they are big enough to stretch around the rad.

I found the mud mainly accumulated under the intercooler and came through the lower vents which where wide and open, so I knocked this crude but effective thingy up,

It keeps the mud out nicely, the tights idea is good but a 20l runs hot in 4wd and I reckon it may melt the tights onto the rad :wink:

You may hear on the cb's,"Right guys tights on" then someone phoning the police saying:- " I think there is a robbery taking place somewhere!" :lol: :lol: :lol:
