Another one on its way to the UK!


I'm not sure what you mean by underside of bonnet, but I wouldn't recommend spraying it on any surfaces in the engine bay as it will look messy, apart from box sections and the underside of the slam panel
 
As advised by Dinitrol themselves......they now provide a Clear version of the 3125 - so people can future proof the car but not change appearance with the regular 3125 that was dark brown in colour. The clear allows the original colour to show through.

If you can advise of any drain holes that would be really appreciated....I think I read on one of the underseal threads that there is one in the spare wheel well and possibly in the bottom of the doors? (which I can look out for as I'm doing the interior)

Thanks
 
Even if it is clear I wouldn't spray it on the inside of the bonnet strut tops or bulkhead etc, it will look **** and dust will stick to it and it will become filthy.
I've seen it done before with a similar clear product and it really looked horrible

These areas are best left and just cleaned regularly with something like gt85, this will repell moisture and keep it looking fresh and shiny

As for drain holes, they should not be a problem, most of the dinitrol products are fairly thin and will not block up and important holes

Many thanks....I will reconsider the Clear Dinitrol for the underside of bonnet and boot.....I intended to use GT85 for the engine bay in any case, so that's good.

OK noted about the drain holes and thanks again
 
Thats a great one, 1.3 radiator cap! That car was raced
 
Interesting comment, can you expand on this for my personal knowledge please?
 
Sorry late reply mate :-s That cap is to control the pressure of the colling fluid inside the radiator. Standard is 1.1, means that when boiling fluid generates steam and pressure higher than 1.1 that pressure is relesed to that container on the left. 1.3 means that the valve tolerates more pressure.. which means that the fluid will tolerate higher temperature before boiling.

So the previous owner may wanted to make shure car was not heating much which is good anyway :)

I have driven hard my ek9 with 1.1 cap and no overheating as well.
