Where did you get the bracket for the radiator fan, is it a custom effort?it was just a universal one on Ebay, the single fan is more than enough on these cars

Hopefully i can comve visit you and pick your brains on Diffs!I did a few more bits over the weekend.I ran the lighting / fan power / altenator trigger wire looms through the chassis leg and connected them upI had a look at the indicator loom and decided that i wanted to run it from inside the car, so rather than change it, i just made a brand new loom.IMG_20210205_174119 by Laxadams, on Flickrbit of a loom making selfie so some of you can put a face to the name:IMG_20210205_164222 by Laxadams, on Flickri've also ordered a load of LED bulbs to replace the older style ones, so everything will be LED bar the headlight and fog light bulbs as having a strong white light from those i feel would look out of place 1 Likes

I could make up another loom for these and sell as a nice working set 1 Likes
Re: CupraCraigs 20v Project Reply #28 – February 24, 2021, 11:22:16 AM Needed to escape into the garage last night, so wacked this new light loom up, braided it and made it detachable with an OEM connection. that way if i ever have an issue with the LED bulb, i can just disconnect it and make changes simply. The led's are linked upto the lighting loom and are dimmable on the light switchIMG_20210223_163144 by Laxadams, on FlickrIMG_20210223_170640 by Laxadams, on FlickrIMG_20210223_171826 by Laxadams, on Flickr 2 Likes
