Cool. I've just had all the parts out on the floor and it looks like the
brackets they gave me will be suitable.

Heh, well I KNOW there won't be a problem under the car, as the pipes are
practically falling off the car! The manifold studs may be more of an issue
though... I have a new four-branch manifold too, and I'm hoping that I'll
figure a way to get that on the car wil a minimum of faffing. I guess
trying to skip the "partially drain the cooling system" stage of removing
the inlet manifold is a good way to make your project last twice as long...

Urg. Thanks, I think!
I reckon if I get the old system off inside an hour then I'll go for it. If
it takes longer then I'll give it two hours then stop work, clean up and go
in the ford (patooey!)
