If what you want is the aluminium aftermarket plate that fits over the top of the thermo fans/radiator, topgun (forum member) sells them. He is in the UK, but makes a good product and they arrive fairly quickly. Bought one from him myself. If you send him a PM, he should reply within a day or so.

lol, that was my first though too. But:
a. The fan cover is metal, not aluminium
b. No one would ever make an aluminium fan cover
c. Ive heard a slam panel also called a fan shroud before as well
So, I think its a slam panel he is after. I could be wrong, but thats my take on it

No im talking about the after market cover that sits flat across the top of were the fan is,kinda hides it,the thin metal strip that is there now is starting to rust(were the edge of bonnet closes),so i want to replace it with this bigger cover

The offset for FTOs needs to be between 35 - 40 I think, 50 is too much.
