A few small changes .

Standard levers painted black .


A new grill .$29 length of grill mess from Super Cheap .Enough for 2 grills and extra. Forgot finished shot , will add tomorrow


Got rid of this bracket as i have solo rego .


Useing this from Super Cheap $25 with 1 year warranty .How do they do that


Now looks cleaner .Took 3 mins to cut off .

What paint did you use mate?

3m satin black (large) rattle can from Repco .$26 .Only spray if sun is out, takes a little longer to dry than Holts type cans but seems thicker .

that`s the same stuff I used to make a radiator guard except I put some pinchwelt I got from clark rubber top & bottom to finish it off & cover the sharp edges .

I did that as well ,also added some stripes like the old one .Forgot to take a pic though .Old one looked like this .New one has I I not H

Is that a "matt" finish lever with a " gloss " finish knob Gus ?

Well its not supposed to be but i guess thats a YES .

New grill ,now i have to re-do the end caps .

Depending on the angle you look at it the knob will sometimes look shinier than the shaft .

You have probably seen this before Hammy

I'm tellin' Cams Mum.

No ,the knobs shinny . No idea why .
Seeing as i had to re-do the end caps to get rid of the pop rivet holes , i wondered if it would look better straight .Also the cut outs looked strange with the mesh showing .So i made it this way ,two bolt holes go in the top ( Forgot to drill them for the pic)

Neat

How it ended up ,

What was wrong with the old one?

I had drilled 4 pop rivet holes in them for the old rad guard .

I assume that the radiator is both water and oil? Seeing how wide it is.

Water only. The oil cooler is behind the oil filter.
They are wide though. I have scratched my head over the design before.
