Hey guys pretty general question regarding my rb20 gtst. So I've just done my Welsh plugs as they rusted out due to my radiator being old and rusty, also doing a manual conversion and putting a new radiator in with new hoses etc. Whilst I was doing my Welsh plugs I noticed a shit tonne of rust inside the galley if you will. I'm wondering when I get everything back on if it would be wise to do a radiator flush with flushing products or would it be too risky to unsettle everything inside? Just want the radiator system to be as clean as possible after the new radiator is in. Cheers.

Usually I would recommend to just run the hose through the block, probably best done with the thermostat out.

I have always wondered if there was a flushing product around to remove the rust and convert it, similar to body rust converter, but I have yet to find one on the market. You wouldn't want that rusty crap blocking your new radiator anyway.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
