rebuilding after the crash

Happy New Year everyone. Out in the shop early. My emergency call rotation is complete. Time to get back on the car. It's a runner again. This time it has oil at the rockers. There's nothing like the sweet smell of nitro in the shop. It fired right up.
Now that's done it's time to move on to a fun project. That being a Bruno cooler. More on that soon.

 

Thats good news Brian, Happy New Year to you and your family.

 

Thanks Mike. Happy New Year.

 

This was a fun project today. The Bruno gets. real hot along with the converter. I can smell the fluid. It smells like rotten sulfur. To cool the unit I made this. Quick connect lines will go from the Bruno to the pump and cooler. It has a switch that turns it on and off based on the temp. Fancy units sell for 3500-4500 dollars. I bought a cart for 50.00 a pump for 150.00 half off at PRI. I had the cooler and fan and battery. The lines from the attached cooler will be re proposed for the new cooler. My local hydraulics place had the quick connect fittings. I will make the hoses Sunday. The welds will get ground down a little then primed and painted.
This is a great thing to have when your going rounds. I was so desperate in Havanna I emptied a CO2 bottle on the converter and trans pan to cool it off.

 

That’s a nice setup Brian and will sure make goin rounds way better and much easier on the Bruno and trans we sure needed that at mokan as well
