Any particular anti freeze I should be using (or not using) in my WO engine? |

The accepted wisdom in the VSCC is that Fernox Alphi 11 has the best anti corrosive properties. (But it is expensive ) It’s also a good antifreeze. But like Nicholas, I actually use the ordinary blue stuff (IAT).

Thank you both.
Ordinary blue stuff now purchased and ready to pour in tomorrow, when my rebuilt radiator is returned to the car.
Eight months wait - driving it will be a novelty next week in the promised sunshine. |
