And use the SPI's complete cooling system!!

1275cc A+ engines don't have a bypass between head & pump.
The 998's cooling siystem doesn't work sufficiently without that bypass.
(The SPI uses a different bypass)

For the starter conversion, look here:

There's no need to alter the complete wiring

Thanks but i think i'll still use the 1275 and all the ancillaries i should be able to get hold of the bits i need to do the conversion.
