Re: New rad surrounds

Andrew Williams
It looks ok but why go to all the trouble of making it and not making it the correct shape?


I had my Nippy one made by Compound Curvatures of Nottingham (in 2009) They were doing Ulster cowlings and I informed them that the Nippy one was the same except for the various mounting etc holes and would they just make a shell with the filler hole in the top and I would do the rest of the holes. At the time it was £200 (after a reduction in price for not having to do the drillings and fix the top bonnet bracket). After doing all the drilling and mock up fitting I then had it chromed by a recommended firm near Bristol. (the nearest quote I had previously had for a bare cowling was £700 to £800).
