Pete's does not have the original rad with oil cooler incorporated, but a very big oil cooler albeit not mounted very well ie not in direct air stream, but Pete does not tow although he lives in a very hilly area, but his box failed on the reverse clutch, looked at it today slight metal to metal contact, so think that failure was due to valving problem that was driving the revers clutch when going forward, the other clutches on the box were OK

would it not be worth putting an auto rad on his one . just to make sure there are no other problems .
i have a good auto rad on my manual . (all i could get from the breakers) but id need a manual one in similar condition to replace it |

Glad you got back safe, but I have to say I do not want to do another T2 gearbox, admittedly Swifty was not about and he is a lot younger than me and has small strong hands, my hands would just not go in the places you needed, made it really hard work, any way it is sorted now, happy motoring mate, see you when you next arrive, Rick
