GTE radiator screen

[lukek]

It seems that my radiator screen is missing (1963 250 GTE). I have the knob under the dash, the cable...but I am not sure what happens after that...
Here is a picture of a radiator screen, is it correct? I hope the frame is there on my car (it looks like I need something for the broomstick / dowel thing to mount to...).

On another topic, it seems like the car now has 3 shows and two drives under its belt. The last event was the Palo Alto Concours. Nice format, a few interesting Italian cars, including Vardanian's Lusso and a perfect GTC4. My friend Felix brought his Alfa TZ1, and I think that car looks better in blue than red. During the show, my oldest befriended two other kids in Ferrari hats, and they all decided that rolling down a grassy hill was more interesting than lunch.
Lots of good automotibve fun was had.


thx

Luke,

If you ever come around Walnut Creek stop by and look at the screen on the Lusso. It is original and I am sure it is the same item that is on the GTE.

Hi Luke,

Yup, there's a frame, but mine is not installed. It's pretty crudded up, so I left it off the car. Besides, I needed the space for the electric fans I installed.

hmmm...i could have used electric fans when they made as wait before we could get on the grass at a show a couple of months ago...i have them on my spider, pretty simple, really.
maybe i will pass on the blind, $150 could be better used on the fans.
