The most important thing is you've taken the first step, I wish you luck :)

While I'd not necessarily go along with all the parts you've selected much is down to personal taste. Some comments:

Double check that you get, or remember to buy the 3/8" BSPT/NPT fittings for the rad, eg http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-003-TO&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1049 .

Heatkiller rev3.0 LT, very nice and seldom seen in the uk. I have the AM2 version :)

7/16 tube and 1/2 barbs, you'll need towels and plenty of hot water :D. You probably don't need the hose clips, indeed a knife may be required if you ever need to remove the tube :eek:

\o/ Yate Loons \o/
 
Is it me or have you bought 10m of tubing? Are you planning on taking it apart often and replacing with fresh tube? But then again you have specced hoseclips, so you won't be relying on the shrink fit nature of 7/16" masterkleer anyway, and thus could re-use the sections of tube?

BTW you have left a competitor name in your list of stuff, see if you can spot it ;)
