After repairing the top missing 'rib', I decided that the front grill design was getting too fiddley....it also didn't help that my radiator surround/wing mounting was missing its grill retaining brackets !??
The grill consists of five separate sections for each side, left, and right. Which locate together via holes on the top of each section, and a locating lug on the bottom.
I did away with these, drilled holes so that a rod could pass all the way through, to the top section, whilst leaving an inch or so, protruding at the bottom. Then used fibre glass resin to bond the rod, and separate sections together.
I had to modify the radiator cowling to suit the new design, but now, I have only two sections of grill ( left & right ) that slide in and out from the top of the radiator cowling, and locate in the bottom of it via four new holes. They are then locked in place by the bonnet catch.
So much easier, and nobody would notice the difference......untill now !!! 😀
