Okay, after the "modification" to the right hand radiator by an unknown object (detailed here - Dinged radiator), I pondered what to do.
Wandering around B&Q the other day, I came across perforated steel sheet for sale (250 mm x 500 mm, or 12" by 24" in real money) and got to tinkering. The thing is though, do I just augment the existing plastic radiator grill -
Or, do I make up a while new radiator grill from scratch?
As you can see this one uses the radiator mounting bolts to hold it in place, rather than the single separate lower bolt. I think that I will still have to use the top of the moulded plastic radiator grill as well. This will mean "modifying" the plastic grills - with a saw!
Obviously, I have not done this yet as the two spares radiator grills I bought off fleabay haven't arrived yet.
You can compare the two designs here -
I haven't decided which style to go with yet - and the two examples above are most definitely prototypes, the finished articles will be much, much tidier.
I'm leaning towards the second design as it would be neater overall. It would carry the two air directing rubber flaps, which I would fasten with plastic nuts and bolts (ie number plate mountings) and use a similar fixing to go with the original top header tank screw, but for the in-board side of things - if you see what I mean.
So, any thoughts people?
