    Front & Rear Clips

    Supposedly left over after the restoration of an original.

    Good starting price but you'd have to have somewhere to store them (or need them?)

    Far old hike to collect them!

    I could have just about made that a full set, but....

    and it's the wrong side door.

    Why are these things always in places like Inverness, or Penzance?

    'Think the rear might well be an original.
    I can't see the stiffener away from the edge on the front, so maybe a Hawk?

    Is that you bidding Chris? I think I'd agree that the front clip is Hawk, rear could well be original, especially if the rear spoiler is moulded in. The louvre panel looks odd too with three supports for each slat?

    And a steel rear louvre panel - not heard of that before - was it to avoid glassfibre sagging from engine heat?

    Hmmmm - Geoff Turton made a couple of aluminium ones back in the day but they were both two support ones. I think one went on Nick Moats car and the other on a yellow car (?).

    The louvers don't sag from heat if they're installed under tension rather than being forced into the aperture under tension which is relieved when they get hot...

    I have just put a bid on them, my rear clip was pretty abused before I got the car and a spare would be handy.

    I'd like to make an objection to this thread title. When did they start getting called 'clips'? Stop this creeping Americanisation right now chaps!!
