[Mgs] The Continuing Quest to Cool my MGA

1.  water wetter is not at all effetive
2.  makes a big difference - i think you trying to cool at speed not in
traffic.  in traffic, an electric fan is the answer.  at speed, you've got
other unsolved issues.  an oiler cooler will help, but i think there's
another problem you need to solve.  be sure all incoming air goes to the
radiator; a radiator shroud will be good here.  also, get an infrared temp
sensor and see if the gage is right.  i had a friend spend hundreds of
dollars and hours chasing what turned out to be a faulty gage.  another
possible answer is to get the radiator recored; they can often add another
row or two. could you have too hot a thermostat?  try removing it and seeing
if you still have problems.  O'Reilly's insists that my cars have 190 degree
t stats; i have to ask special for a 180 or lower.
3. felt pad for the bonnet is irrelevant for overheating issues
