while i was waiting for the new radiator to arrive, i bought some stainless mesh to make a radiator shield... as you can see the removed radiator had suffered on the bottom half over 17 years of use... constantly bombarded by bugs, stones and whatever



so a shield was made up. 2 A3 pieces of mesh were cut to shape, screwed to the plastic ducting at the sides, and ty-wrapped around the centre support. edging was fitted where the mesh might chaif the metal.. rubber tube was fitted over the air-con pipes to avoid any issues!...





oh, and the shiny new rad....
