Gloucestershire is my old stamping ground. I'd be very surprised if there isn't someone with a suitable Marlin in the Stroud & District Motor Club [at their last trial I was told about 12 Marlins were there …] Might be worth joining and asking ?
ATB
(ref. mechanical fans. My Mk2 had a standard-looking B engine with standard mechanical fan. BUT it was so far away from the core as to be useless/just absorbing bhp to drive it/stirring engine bay heat ! [now removed and I will rely on an electric fan in front of rad. - fingers crossed!)
Ideally a mechanical fan without a shroud should be 1/2" to 3/4" from the core [to allow for engine movement under braking. Impossible on Marina-suspended Mk 2 because of the rack].
Reminds me - I must also block the big gaps around the Marlin rad. to ensure all airflow goes through the core.
"ITV" is that a typo for IVA? ITV is a tv station.
