[TR] radiator duct material

[Carl TR]

I went to a local metal recycle outfit (sell used bits). Bought 3 pieces of 
aluminum (roughly1/16"); trimmed to match the cardboard and had it 
powdercoated.  Need to have metal break (18" sufficient) and something to 
either punch or drill the holes for the overrider bracket, etc. (bending & 
holes before pc).   I even riveted all together before taking to pc.   If 
you have access to a commercial metal break, you probably could make it out 
of a single piece but will have a bit of waste.

Haven't installed it yet, but will probably put some kind of padding on the 
backside where it will be up against the radiator so that it won't 'rattle'.

I'll get a couple images this weekend and send them to you.
