Amazing

Let's be honest here, if you can braize then you can easily make one of these in an hour so as one of the more reproduceable items it's not surprising to see that!

Close inspection of the photo reveals that this sample has been in the wars somewhat.
It's interesting that this bracket doesn't seem to be stocked by the usual UK suspects - perhaps because it's so easily made?
Or perhaps because so many of us fit flush fit fans?
In my innocence I threw mine away in 1982 and reverted to a multiblade spitfire mechanical fan which was much more effective and reliable.
I have now backed this up with an electric fan which only really operates she stood on tragic for a while.

Somebody I know who is restoring a +2 and wanted to keep the 'original' look fitted the 'standard' radiator but with extra cores and kept the factory fitted fan mount but added a faster electric fan for additional cooling.
