Redben has been busying himself with manufacturing after market parts for the roadsters we love. This thread is about a run of slam panels (the plate that covers the open bit above the radiator) that Ben is making.

Image

I am unsure of the cost but I know the quality will be top notch judging from the quality of the offset license plate bracket that Ben made in a previous batch. If you would like one, just ask to add your name to the list. He may even have some of the offset license plate brackets left if you would want one of those as well. (I am only guessing, Ben can clarify if he has any left)

Had a brain fart and thought I was on page one. Probably would if I had stable income. What do they do, is it [in essence] a more efficient radiator shroud?

The early mk1's never came with with a shroud and this directs the air directly through the radiator enhancing cooling.

I Have revised the profile of the cooling panel, and are trying to finalize how they will be secured. Sorry this taking a while we just want to get it right the first time.

Thanks Harlan for adding my name...... The work funded IPad is all that I have unfortunately. Its great in the car running on 3G. Have been able to pick up good deals from Trade me by being able to check regularly when on the look out for something and also being at work. I do service work so always out and about with my van as an office.
