Hi here are the pictures as promised. Don't take any notice of the shiny aluminium box under the hood this is what I made to stop the distributor getting wet.

Picture 4 shows a little bracket that fixes to the radiator and prevents the grill spreading when the hood is clamped shut.

I am also restoring a 37 1/2 ton. I have the original radiator from mine which needs a new core and haven't been able to find a radiator shop within a reasonable distance to do the work. I bought a new radiator from Brassworks which is about 95% correct. Let me know i f you want pictures.

I just realized your picture show the inner lower grill shell piece I've been questioning in another thread.

Also, I think I see a brace that I cant make out for sure. Looks tubular and maybe bracing the fender??? If that makes sense can you tell me what I am seeing? It's the picture where you are looking down into the engine compartment on the passenger side.

no the brace is almost flat, it bolts to the front fender bracket and stops it flexing.
