molten Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 HelloI know this is not a straight forward thing to request but does anyone have templates (on paper maybe) of the engine side valnces for 1500 spitfire?I recently obtained a sheet of polished stainless steel and hope to use to make engine and radiator valances for my car - if I can find a nice way to cut it so as not to burn the edges ;)If anyone has a drawing of valences andr or dimensions. Could you get in touch?Many ThanksScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bonnett Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Scott, you can use the Hammerform technique in the same way as the bulkhead/sill protectors for the radiator valances to avoid snipping the aluminium at intervals along the curve. You will be able to achieve a really nice 15mm flange on a flowing curve.It makes a really professional job particularly when they are powder coated.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
