Hi there,

I have just been given the bad news that the rad shell on my 1935 Hillman Aero is in very poor condition having just had the chrome stripped. It can be patched up but will never look right and I would like to explore the possibility of having a new one made.

Any ideas, suggestions or contacts please ?

Many thanks

Tim

Did you get anywhere with finding someone to make a replacement? I know someone who might be able to do it, although I know he's usually booked up for months in advance!

So do I, but I think we may be thinking of the same person!?

Hi Rick etc.
I would be very happy to speak to whoever even if they are very busy. The existing rad shell is to be patched up for the time being so I can wait.
Any help would be a help
Thanks
Tim

Google "Romance of Rust", call Lance and say Ian pointed you in his direction. He's in Ealing, W London, but if you want perfection he's the guy.
