Haven't been here for yonks, but thanks Dan. Loving the lux mate, I'm going to rebody it with my 96 xtra cab. You've given me the ultimate platform to work on. Your hard work has gone to a good home and is still going hard and well, thanks again.

Re: Overheating V8 Lux

Thanks Struth, mine has a snorkle fed modified commodore air box. I will give the V6 Lux radiator a go. What year model radiator should i look for, and what hoses worked for you? Also, mine has a direct fan, not a clutch fan as room is an issue :?
