OK, I'm onto waterpump necessity and researching! It does have a fan, Howard and the remains of a heat sensor (lying on the head) which I imagine goes off to the temp gauge on the dash. The engine must have been swapped at some stage. What I need to understand is the relationship between the fan (haven't worked out how that is controlled, but there isn't an obvious switch for it), an electric pump and a sensor which I imagine is some housing in the middle of a bit of main hose at the top of the engine? And whether all this can interact with the in-hose thermostat mod? Will a wiring diagram from a 40s of 50s car, say, help?
I've also seen a picture of Ian Clayton's former 750's interior, where the cabin floor is below the chassis members. After getting the transmission tunnel out yesterday and also finding the date stamp on the rear axle is 2/34, I find a serviceable fabric/carden prop and a messy space underneath with amongst other things, a heavy 18" square of 60's carpet! I'm intending to drill the rivets from the floor and lift the panels to get a better idea of how I wcould attend to the springs in future. And seeing if the seats could go lower in the car by eliminating this upper layer. It seems artificially high, but I don't think it can be.
