there's one there now, 230795502964
It will fit fine, but strictly not quite correct for a 58 Dexta (a small difference behind the light mounting holes), so depends how rigourous you want to be, even your side of the water.

Re: steel radiator cowel
Ah Ha, they hardly ever come up on ebay. I'm repairing mine despite it looking like lace. Expect you're aware of the fibreglass rad cowels, maybe they are OK?DEXTAS wrote:not a nose cone ben a radiator cowel am looking for but thanks

Re: steel radiator cowel
have seen a few but beyond repair 

Re: steel radiator cowel
Get one and use it as a pattern. Any decent panel beater/welder should be able to make/repair even a poor one, as the metal is no thicker than a car body panel and the shape less complex than say a car wing.DEXTAS wrote:have seen a few but beyond repair

Re: steel radiator cowel
A few months ago i got a new steel fan shroud/radiator cowl from forge services....it fitted alright although i had to make the drilled holes slotted to make it fit.
Hope this helps.
