well, i had a sheet of ally lying around so i thought i would make up a slam pannel.

 

thanks to Wendy for the loan of his carbon pannels, i was able to make up a card board template...

 

 

then draw the shape and cut it out, Topless gave me an idea about covering the top of the rad so, i left the center for such purpose...

 

 

bending the ally was the trickyest as i dont have a line bender but, with a few carefully chosen lumps of wood and a handfull of G clamps, i managed it...

 

 

just a little bit of filing and making good and its ready for fitting...

 

 

looks good mate, im having to resist the temptation to start new jobs till iv finished the others i started lol

thanks buddy, i know what you mean about all the jobs ;)

i've just started to make a fire wall to seperate all the fuel components from the engine. should be interesting :S

looks great mate. well done

looks ok, need a bit refining but overall a good job, will this help aid the cooling of the rad as it will direct air more through the rad from the headlight panel?????

thats the idea but i think these are mainly for show or for covering up dodgy paint work :whistle:

 

Looks well made marcus :D

pmsl@ jimmy, get ya bonnet jacked up at the back with washers and your sorted lol

Looking good. Its nice to see people try new things out :cool:

thanks for the comments guy's, it does need a little fetlling around the top of the rad but, im going to leave that until i put a vent in the bonnet, then work out a way of making a complete rad duck to channel the hot air up through and out.

 

i dont think it will make a blind difference to the air flow, i just wanted to cover up the "dodgy paint work" as Jimbo so eloquently put it :D

looks good mate. What about the bonnet catch tho?
