It's made from a thin aluminium sheet - the crinkle-press finish gives it additional strength. I bought it at Bunnings - an Aussie hardware store.

I plan to do some radiator ducting work at some stage but don't believe aluminium this thin will be up to the task.

The small size of the ducting "box" braced against the front of the oil cooler gives the oil cooler duct plenty of rigidity but given that the radiator surface areas are much larger, I'd want to use thicker/sturdier aluminium.

This thread is so full of talent. Respect++ out to all of you.

I got tired of the darn E-Brake being in my way, and digging into my knee cap. So now it my passenger's problem.

And, I couldn't find a grill I liked that would keep big pieces of road trash out, so I came up with this.
