I hate it when that happens.

I just went out and looked at mine, they are ok. I was going to offer to swap if I had the same problem.

Thanks, Carl. I appreciate that. I sent an e-mail to FFR with a picture and asked that they send a replacement to match the one that has the long side of the diamonds running top to bottom. I expect they will have one on the way tomorrow.

Looks like your "Quality Control" process was better than the guy who put the raw material in the press! What a mesh he made of it! :p

BTW all these grates tend to rust so a shot of clear is a good idea.

The FFR ones like Papa Dave has are aluminum so rust is not an issue.

Just tell everyone they are designed that way for "aerodynamics"...

Dave (papa), it would be a good conversation piece of your “unique” build. I think it would be fun to see how many people would actually catch it. ;)

Dave (Hodgkins), that’s really cool looking honeycomb... where did you find that?

Hi Kurt,

I got mine from a local So-Cal dealer called Industrial Metal Supply:

:)

PS they also have a great deal on NOMEX, which you can use on top of your radiator. I painted mine black before installing it:

Vertical goes on the Right, Horizontal on the Left.....thought everyone knew that...da Bat

[rich grsc]

Your left, or my right?

[SSNK4US]

Sitting in the car or looking at it from the front?
So many variables.....

And thanks Dave! And it looks like you engined turned that radiator cowl???? I must have missed that (or forgot, I’m old) in your refresh thread.
NOMEX? Radiator? Like in front of it? Doesn’t restrict airflow?

Kurt

P.S. I found the NOMEX and radiator shroud on your thread Dave ;)

The dirt track guys swear by it - saving radiators from mud / rocks / etc.

I'm using it too - pretty much requires a fan shroud in hot weather / hard running to move enough air.

To be clear, I was doing Ok on water temp autocrossing running the FFR supplied fan mounted to the back of a Summit radiator.

First autocross with the honeycomb - the stone guard had to come back off - climbing water temp.

Ok for years (with honeycomb) after adding a Summit fan shroud to the FFR supplied fan.

I powder coated my grates silver.

I plan to do the same.

If you decide to use the Nomex don't forget to order the mounting kit, a simple way to attach the Nomex to your radiator.

Well, YES !

[Papa]

I got an e-mail from Dave C. at FFR and he personally made a new set for me and they are on the way. Another example of FFR's great customer support.

Your left, or my right?

It depends on the front end alignment.
