Will get the bits away this week Mike, C8 radiator was blocked and had to do a full strip down, currently getting a thermostat housing forged as it's been repaired so many times it's cactus. Will be posting a 20 minute drive around Hervey Bay QLD in the C8 on you tube. Going well after I fixed the no2 inlet valve which was bent, not till you start driving these old things that problems jump out at you. All part of the fun.

Forgive my poor memory, but I think I did post the Master manual to you , on a USB stick I think. I do have a few spare radiators , these are for the six cyl. models but they do appear to be similar to the C8 radiator.

A club member down here had two of the C8 4X4 models back in the 1980's, both trucks were originally 2 pounder portees. Hughes yard at Coburg had a few NOS spares and a new unused engine but that was years ago.

Hi Mike and yes I got the manual from you thanks and all good for bits at the moment, radiator is now fully functioning and the recent job was keeping the oil in but seem to have had success with that as well but will only find out when thermo hsg comes back and we go for another drive.
