After many weeks the rad suround and grill have finally returned from Vernon Moss (Electroplaters) Ltd.

Well this is a coincidence. I have just been criticised on facebook for blanking off the drain holes on my '9'. I have looked through my photos and notice that most engines have the drains blanked off. I have driven over 65,000 miles in my '35 four seater and don't recall having a problem with flood...
