Just thought i'd share my latest piece of the TR6 restoration.

 

Like many cars out there the radiator shield has seen plenty of action over the years and needed replacing. My brother has tested his CAD skills and designed a replacement. Side pieces are 5mm steel so will be more up to the job if it ever needs a tow.

Finished welding it together today and i'm very pleased with the finished article.

 

If anyone is interested in a kit of laser cut parts, to weld together yourself please let me know.

 

regards

That is a serious piece of kit, James, can you give me a guide as to cost?

Mine arrived today and looks very well made and solid. Thanks guys

I'm glad to hear nothing got bent in transit although that would take some doing.

 

Top tip - remember to space the side plates out from the chassis with washers before tack welding the undershield in place. This will ensure you have room for the paint layers once welded up properly. We learnt that the hard way...

Yeah, I might grab one but pickup not until I'm over onto your side of the world...
