The lower duct arrived quickly and was very straightforward to fit. Its in durable ABS plastic and just looks right now fitted around the new oil cooler

The new oil cooler and pipes are in. An absolute breeze to fit after the unnecessary struggle of trying to work with the wrong hose.

Thanks Charles. That hose is definitely wrong and the thread on the oil cooler is now damaged. Il order replacements for both

The hose from the rear of the engine is original, though Im not clear on whether it was initially in that position as the friend who stripped down the engine bay had used it to temporally loop the oil flow between there and the oil filter housing.

Ive gone for this as Paul Copeland who supplied the stainless steel mud shield doesn't make a front duct

Ive also realised there are also some remnants of another cardboard type cowling that goes in front of the radiator and oil cooler. Does anyone know what part this might be please ? from the end pieces Id say it doesnt look as deep as the air duct tray that was on 1974 to 1976 Bs, part no BHH1622, p...

Thanks Charles. Would it be practical to take a photo head on of the jumble of wires and bullet connectors where the looms meet under the brake master cylinder, please.
