Replaced my water pump, so moving on to refitting the radiator, cowl, shroud, and silicon hoses.

 

Put the bottom hose on, bolted on the cowl.

 

But can't get the shroud holes as well as the cowl holes, to line up with the radiator.

 

The silicon hoses also lack some of the bends that the rubber has. So, connection to the inlet manifold is a pain (fuel hoses in the way)

 

Losing patience.

 

Can someone provide a step by step description on refitting.

 

I'm willing to remove radiator,cowl and shroud and start over.

 

Just need to get back to driving my Mini!

I had no issues when I did mine.
