Radiator recovery bottle position

[Hitus]

My '72 sprint is the same as Rogers but again not nearly as spotless & I've never had any cooling problems (tho' NE Scotland isn't the warmest place on earth!)
While doing a spot of winter maintenance I was reading over the cooling system section (K) in the workshop manual & found page 5 is blank ! All to do with thermostat & radiator removal I think, which isn't a huge problem, but would someone be kind enough to post a copy of the page please, then I can print it off. Many thanks in advance.
Also, while I'm at it, in the manual (K12) it mentions that the sprint models are fitted with a blanking panel below the rad. (mine doesn't, tho there are side panels) are other sprints possessed with such a thing & does it help?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Neil and welcome.

Yep, your Sprint will have originally been fitted with the card blanking panel below the radiator. You might be able to track one down or easily make one up. It does help with cooling, provided of course you still have the panels at the side of the radiator and the sponge on the underside of the bonnet to seal off the top of the radiator too.

Neil,

PM me with your contact details and I'll send you a template for the blanking panel.

Regards,
Stuart.

Brian, many thanks, that is indeed what I was looking for, now resized & in the book.

Tim & Stuart, thanks for the info., yes I already have the side panels (currently being repainted) & the foam stuff ontop.

Thanks again,

Neil
