Rad Cover Tips Wanted

Towie

The lower rad - oil cooler - is the easiest, trim the mesh to size and wedge in place in the front of the belly pan, you can use a little silicone to hold it if you want.

The upper two rad's are fairly straight forward; Take the central splitter piece off and the two radiator protectors, your cooling fans will hang loose at this point. cut the mesh to fit tightly into the height of each of the radiators, with enough width to wrap around the outside and project into the centre. It can be done with a single piece if you have a piece large enough. use the central splitter to trap the inner edges, and make holes in the outers for the rad protector/fan fixing bolts to pass through, trim any mesh showing behind the protectors.

This is a picture of mine with it's first set of mesh, I have replaced it with black since then, but it shows the general idea.

It's an easy mod isn't it, and a lot better than a holed radiator. :yes

I did mine with grill mesh, and I also replaced the side panel mesh to suit, black is the new black...
