.... for the radiator mounting brackets ..... beat that cool

And YES, they do improve the handling, but only when going in a straight line biggrin

An interesting performance enhancement wink

The cooler thing is the 'ice blue' chassis, never seen that colour used before.
Looking good clap, when are you planning to have it back on the road?

look neat, did you make any "extra"? wink


On mine the bracket is one piece and goes right across the top of the radiator, is yours original/how they were on earlier cars?

Hopefully, about 1 year from now.

Sorry, but I only managed to make 4 good ones, so no extras frown
There is no one piece bracket across the top, just these two brackets on each side. Fairly sure that this is an original set-up on my '89 S2.

Mine looks just the same (and out of focus, today). I guess this is TVR's attempt at a crumple zone, hence the cr*p engineering?

It seems like a decent design to me, and fine for the job it was intended for. I wouldn't expect any problems unless you hit it with something or it is badly corroded.
