WCC pitfalls
The filler tank on this car is below the top of the water neck when the car is level. The elaborate hoses are supposed to push out the air, but the fill tank must be higher than the water neck. You need to jack up the front of the car in order to fill the radiator and remove the air.
I'm looking to get a Meziere water fill neck to fill at the engines highest point. I'll use a slightly higher pressure cap at the neck filler. I may redesign the resevoir system and incorporate an air bleed valve.
I found that the radiator I recieved from WCC had a fan that was mounted backwards. it was a push type mounted as a pull. While it did pull running backwards, flow was only around the outside of the fan and roughly 1/3. I had to reverse the blades in order for it to work as the fan was designed. I just replaced the fan with an "S" blade design. This is much better.
