Marston Rad fitment

[andrewh]

I am just fitting the fabulous replica Marston Rad but need some help in the positioning of the spacers on the tie brackets. Are there one each spacer on the top studs and also one each between the tie bracket and fan cowl? I have looked at the photos in the factory fit thread but very tricky to see for sure. Any help please?

Or to put it a different way, there are according to the book spacers under the front of the tie bars, I think these are the same as the smaller seat runner supports . However the parts book refers to spacers between the cowl and the tie brackets but I have no intel on what size these are. These directly affect the location of the cowl on the rad so are important. Hence my interest

I only have spacers on top of the radiator, underneath the bracket, so one on each side. Not sure if that answers your question.

I used distance piece #C16766 under the tie bars on the radiator. The distance piece #C15712 fits between the tie bars and the cowl. The former is no longer available from SNBG but the latter is. If you don't have the originals then I suggest using packing washers as they can't be seen.

thank you guys. I have actually used the same packer on the top of the rad and on the cowl, and it all lines up ok. I can always adjust this at a later stage if the E type police pull me up on it!
