Radiator Top Card

Hi folks

I had a go at making a few of these radiator cards which sit on top of the radiator between the two radiator support brackets.



Used a material called millboard (a compressed card) with a little help from Anna and Matt on the forum.

They have a nice textured finish with the VW part number 171 121 293 G lasered engraved on.



Proper vent out as per original.



Interested in your feedback and if anyone wan't one I have a few in my parts bin on my website.

I think I have ordered one of these from you already mate??

Thanks Andy and Bert for the comments and feedback.

I did a 120 mile drive yesterday in the sportline with the new card in and no issues. Worked very well.

I have sprayed up another with some clear lacquer front and back just to waterproof it - looks the part!

Shughy I will take one off you if you have any left, just let me know how much, if your at Dub Shed could pay you then, if not paypal.
Andy

Andy PT just sent.  

Hugh, i would get a bulk load made for the AGM they will sell like hot cakes!

I got a genuine one not long ago, so am ok for the mo, but as discussed definately interested in a side one for mine with the angle in it, once you get to the point they are available

Cheers

Rich

Well mine arrived promptly (Thanks Hugh )

I have to say the quality is top-notch!   If I was told they were OEM I'd believe it. They're made from a nice quality, thick card and it's a nice touch with the VW logo and part number on looks good  

….and Hugh as mentioned, if you start to do boot cards too….

Do these fit small blocks?

Thanks Andy for the feedback and glad it arrived safe and sound. I'll need a template/drawing for the boot cards and I'll run you off a set.

They work out approx 590 x 62 x 2.5 mm in length.

I can run you off any size you want. (600 mm is the biggest dimension I can laser cut & if any bigger than 600mm it goes in a double the postage price bracket too).

Best measure up and tell me what you need.  

Cheers, what would the cost be posted to my door in Cornwall? Approx 565mm between mounts.

I'll have to dig the old ones out from wherever I buried them but would be up for that

Hi again these are 560 between the mounts and looking at €20 or £17 posted to your doorstep in Cornwall.

Ok Andy will look after you - if you can dig them out do a drawing or a trace of it on paper - I'll do the rest might take a few attempts to get it right and hey will even hand deliver it to you in Uttoxeter in July.    

Flipping Royal Mail appear to be hoarding mine for some bizarre reason
