Type 4 engine flaps , the small aluminium ones

Discussion in 'Late Bay Parts Classifieds' started by lhu1281, Mar 28, 2014.

  1. There was a bit of call for these a week ago so I have for sale exact copies of the two small aluminium type 4 flaps that attach to the lower ends of the fan housing . Better pictures next week as these were taken last thing to prove the punch tool . They will come with the hinge ends formed . £15 inc P&P

  6. There's a picture in the first post ;)
     
  7. ahh well there wasnt on tapatalk when i replied !!

    nice pics by the way!!
     
  8. For two such small items made from 0.5 mm aluminium it took a massive amount of work to make the multiple press tools needed . when you think the shear clearance is 10% of the metal thickness, this gives you a massive gap between male and female punch of 0.05 mm ...and both are different shapes.
     
  9. Got any pics of the press tools? :)
     
  10. lhu1281 you will be able to sell loads of these to the US market as well. they look excellent.

    i cant remember if you can fit them with the heat exchangers already fitted?
     
  11. I've got one side will you be able to sell me the other?
     
  12. Sure , send me a pm / conversation and I'll send you paypal details

    What I'll do is take some better pictures next week of them fitted to my fan housing showing the hinge bit ..
     
  13. Yeah you can, just unscrew the covers and they should be exposed

    mine came today lhu has done a fabbo job, anyone know what actually holds them in place - i'm guessing a pin almost like a watch strap affair? i can't recall if the holes go all the way through the case to allow a small long nut and bolt?

  19. It's a plastic coated pin that pushes right through... something like some 2/2.5mm stainless round bar would work a treat :)

    I'll have to have a measure and see what it's supposed to be :thumbsup:
