This shell has the two bolts mounted through the front face. By the time the 65 and Nippy appeared, they were mounted on a third type of bracket resulting in no bolt-holes in the front face. But some time ago Ruairidh reminded me of the photo above and perhaps there were some Ulsters fitted with the third type - although my search through photos of standard cars as well as Ulsters only show the earlier mounting. This plus the honey-comb core in the photo makes that Ulster curious - or was it correct & perhaps similar in others? Cheers, Bill in Oz
Bill, I have in my possession three radiator shells of the 1929/30 type. None of them have holes in the side for a wing stay of the Nippy persuasion, nor do they have mounting holes in the front of the shell. All of them have holes for the two equal legged rad mounts.
Super rare? Yet these shells I acquired as they turned up over the years, they are not specially selected to have this form of mount. What are the odds?
