yorkshire_spam Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Mine got temporarily relocated in 2014 when I had cooling problems using a couple of cable ties and never got moved back. (Spitfire on the right!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpus Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I've fitted mine here. Made 2 brackets from the through the grill, to the front crossmember. Using a wide rad and no problems since then (the narrow rad was getting old abd temp went up). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Spitfire on the right!) Lovely pic. Raiders (still miss him) saloon before the pig gate incident? That was the first big run in our Spitfire. And yes, the 28 year old fan did pack up on the first day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't make it to the mountains in 2015 after the Hogs of the Czech Republic incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Sorry, I had assumed pic was taken 2014. Should have been obvious as 10CRs are odd years. Been a very long, stressful day. And thinking about it, 29015 was our first 10CR. Got car of teh event too (which was really very unexpected. There are some seriously good previous and since awardees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Sam, no criticism at all from me. Just all brings good memories back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham C Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Running a Spitfire 1500 since 1984 I made brackets that where fixed to the front chassis rail and had two sets of holes in the number plate one set for enter and the other for summer. The winter ones move the number plate up to block the air flow and the summer one moved it down to increase air flow. Also BL recommended changing thermostats. Only on odd occasions did I have problems when stuck in traffic on hot days but controlled temp by having heater on. Similarly I have done the same thing with my GT6, seems to cure all ills. Standard reads in both. Always puzzled by all this talk of bidder rads, etc back then we ensured cooling systems were looked after, but alas world temps have increased. Note, both cars are no longer every day cars, so not so critical. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Stick it on the bonnet. Loads of MOT's & police pull-overs. ANPR no problem, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanky Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 P7rider, do you have a photo of the stick on version on your car and also can anyone tell me where to get the individual letters please? I hate the numberplate stuck on the front of my 1500 Spit... Cheers tanky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
