Tom, many thanks. I am going for that home made look! It's not the cost, it
more the fun/challenge. If I mess up the hardboard (even with the old ones as
templates it can happen) at least it's a cheap material to replace.
Useful source though.
Thanks,
Alan

Alan,
In the New Products section of the most recent Practical Classics, there is
mention of a set of polished aluminum engine valences available from NG
Triumph Spares (they give a phone number of 01543 673401. They also give a
website address of www.avon38.fsnet.co.uk which appears to be incorrect.) The
picture looks pretty nice though, I believe it lacks the "air pump bump", and
there is no mention of the gauge of the aluminum. The price is UKP49.95 for a
set. Sets for GT6 UKP89.00. Radiator set for Spit UKP37.95, GT6 UKP32.00. All
include fittings.
Not cheap, but very classy and weatherproof.
NFI, of course.
Good luck,
Tom Burke
80 Spit

have a torch so that one's out, but I have heard of that type of technique
before. I saw that Paul does not have an air pump bump (as at sometime it was
removed). Do you and if so what did you do. Sounds like you may not have an
air pump due to the heavier material you used. I was considering using
aluminium flashing (as a sandwich with a thin hardboard) and making the bump
out of the flashing and riveting it on.
