Does anyone out there have a pattern or a drawing for the two long thin scoop shaped panels which fit to the lower edge of the front underbonnet valances on the AE chummy so as to form a sort of underpan? That's the best I can do with words, but if you look at Fig. 619 in the A7 Source Book they are the bits which appear on each side of the detachable transmission cover in the exploded view. My two-seater has the same arrangement, but I only have about one square inch of one of these bits left, which isn't much use for a pattern!

Hi John,

Are you describing the "flitch-plates".

If so I have some original ones of these in my workshop which I can photograph and post onto the Forum for you. Failing that I can make a full size cardboard pattern for you to copy, let me have your postal address if this is your preferred choice. I have made a set of new ones myself in this way, they are not complicated.

Keith Marriner of Metalwork Developments will also make you a pair, will post his contact details later.

Cheers

Thanks Ruairidh, the correct terminology at last! A photograph and a note of the basic dimensions would be great. I have enough rusty fragments for patterns for most of the rest of the steelwork, but I'm really stumped when it comes to these bits!

Thanks and best wishes
John
