Did I tell anyone that I changed my trunnions two weeks ago. I now have very shiny ones and greased of course!

Allow me to spice things up with an old chestnut. A Zetec Elan is better than the one with the original engine......and the +2 looks the coolest.

Did I tell anyone about my quest , that if I won the lottery I would buy all the Zetec Elans and convert them all back to twin cams
Fingers crossed for tonight .....oh I don't do the lottery

Wouldn't your lottery money be better spent on convirting all Elan's to 26R's? Oh, I checked the archives, and this has already been done. :lol:

Never had a problem with cooling on my twin cam , runs standard everything but with all the original air baffles in place i.e. sponge / blanking bottom plate / Side blanking plates. The fan hardly ever comes on
The thing with zetecs is they probably do get more wind in the front as they are riding so much higher
