One thing to n...Very nice job on the protectors :)<br /><br />One thing to note with welding then anodising aluminium is that the anodising process can attack welds or the welded are may show up as a different shade (on clear or colour anodising).<br /><br />I discovered this when I send some machined parts to get clear anodised. When they came back they had a very visible weld repair which was hidden prior to anodising and some of the weld and parent material surrounding the weld had been attacked and eaten away. The machine shop did not tell me that they had made a mistake and filled it with weld.<br /><br />Check with your welder and inform the anodiser that the part has been welded.dawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054623652014892934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482327242966425688.post-35805268691710830542009-07-23T05:31:30.119-07:002009-07-23T05:31:30.119-07:00They look really nice..

And besides, they are not designed to hang all unprotected like that and are rather fragile (my four year old son managed to flatten some of the cells just by poking at them). I will use the original, plastic protectors for the fronts of the rads.KrookStreetRacinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559728056984005068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482327242966425688.post-63925776953444356862009-07-22T04:18:56.187-07:002009-07-22T04:18:56.187-07:00I am sure that the airflow wont be a problem. But ...I am sure that the airflow wont be a problem. But normally the protecor is in front of the rad to protect against flying debris ect. Is there any reason you have postition them behind the rad are you just trying to stiffen theere mounting?<br /><br />Anyway they look greatanthonyhttp://www.dirtbikeaction.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
