Be careful mixing stainless steel and aluminium. You might quickly find
you have less aluminium than when you started! Use some plastic/rubber
washers to isolate the 2 if possible.

The bloke who built mine had made some out of aluminium (badly) and
had used steel self tappers to hold it on.
The screws had rusted solid and had to be drilled out.
I intend to made some better ones out of aluminium and use stainless
rivnuts.

My coupe had S/S fasteners and it was a non-event to take the nose
cone off. (Sorry to those who have struggled!) It was a more recent
refit with the redesigned front lights shape. If you do not have
liners I would have thought the lights and wiring would have got a
pounding and would need to be very waterproof.
My covers are plastic, but my son’s car has aluminium.

I think they are partly to stop mud etc building up in the back of
the nose cone.
And also they make more of a shield to the void between the inner and
outer wings that supplys air to the heater system.
I imagine that without them that it might be possible for water from
a big puddle to splash up there and enter the car.

Hi Derek et al
My saloon does not have and never has had such covers fitted and I've
not found any downside to that.
Just for interest, the radiator originally was in the engine bay but
during a full rebuild a few years ago, I moved it in front of the
bulkhead to accommodate a decent tubular exhaust manifold.

As you've probably discovered, removing the nose cone can be a pig if
stainless fasteners were not used to mount it, but all are reachable,
just, with a cutting disc on an angle grinder.
Best regards
Bill

Dear All,
Took off the nose cone today. The inner wheel arch covers that fill
the back of the nose cone within the wheel arch are pop riveted on.
I did wonder if there is a better way of doing it? The rivets are
quite practical and easy enough to reset, so maybe not. But I note
that production vehicles now use a plastic clip system for the same
job. Rivnuts and dome head bolts seem to be the deluxe version. But
maybe they would not last?
What have you done? What is the best?
Cheers
Derek
