AFV's

[Stwdv]

Hi, does anyone have a drawing or photographs of what the original brackets were like as mine seem to have been botched with all sorts of bits of metal
Thanks

All three should have a little rubber "bobbin" on the bottom, that's the remains of one on the left. Don't know if the four holes in that one are "original", some one cocked up at the factory, or an alteration some time in the cars life (before it died forever )

Forgot the tape measure...................

At TVR? Surely not?

Excuse my ignorance but what are AFV's?

[Stwdv]

Many thanks Mike, maybe mine are still original
Did you upgrade yours ?

Those are a "spare set" but yes I did make myself a new set from some stainless steel strip.... was easier than de-rusting and painting the originals

Sorry to let the side down but I don't know either!

Maybe those tatty things are only on those common 2.9's ?
(in other words I do not know either! Mine is a Mk1)

Is it Air Flow Veters?

Let's ask Longers - he's bound to know

Black connector above white. Does this make a difference?
And from the photo, looks like they're lower and moved to the left

Agreed, lacks the purety of the Mk1!!

[AutoAndy]

Don't have them on cat car either...must be a niche group...

I think they do slightly different things/adjusted differently so swapping plugs is probably not a good idea? May not be too clear in the photo but there is a metal "bung" on each one, I have painted these black and white to relate to the plug colours.

Hawk eye

Yes, I have tried to move them away as much as possible from all the hot air coming through the radiator and fabricated a "deflector".

Would that be a stainless deflector by any chance?!!
