Spitfire1500 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Dear all,A bit of a silly question, but how would you go about fitting these Radiator valances?I have a set of aluminium valances which appear to have 1 elongated hole on a lip and 3 on the straight side.Would it be a case of drilling the radiator bracket and fitting these on? The cardboard valances (which aren't serviceable) on another bracket I have appear to have been riveted on.Would this require drilling a hole in my chassis rails as well, I would rather not do this to be honest.Please excuse the bad photo..it was taken with my camera phone in poor lighting conditions and I think my blue bonnet confused it!Kind regards,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcolumbine Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 There should be small rivet style holes in the sides of the radiator cradle that these mount to. Mine already had these so I presume they were originally for the cardboard ones. The holes on the lip I'm not sure about. I made my own valances from quite thick alloy and they didn't need any extra attachment points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire1500 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Many thanks for your reply Will!I'm trying to get tomorrow off so that I can replace all my old Spitfire tyres, give my radiator another flush, fit the valances and test the temperature sender and temperature guage.Thats the plan anyway!Kind regards,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
