SWB 2A with a difference

As I am using a later model radiator support panel, either of these three grills will fit. Which one?


Cheers, Mick.

Yeah Mick, my s3 is the same. its coz the bellhousing is so long on the cabstar box. I think that the input shaft is very long on the cabstar box. Thats why the motor is so far forward. On my s3 its the same. And my s3 is originally a 6cyl. The front cross member is cut for the radiator on it too.

On the grille post, i think grille no 2 is the correct grille for late s2a. [emoji2]

Cheers Rod

Number 1 if it's a late 2A, my 1971 2A has that grill.

You're not going to get a concensus here on the grille mate - I think number 2. :D

Then number 3.

I like the number 3 plastic fantastic ?
Cheers,

Re: the grill, my wife reckons that number one looks like it was designed to suit the cut-outs in the radiator support panel.
The vehicle comes up on CalVIN as 1963-4.


Thanks Rod,
I hadn't thought about the need for the front cross member requiring modification on the 109 six cylinder Land Rover, when the Cabstar box is coupled to a Holden six.


Cheers, Mick.

G'day Mick,

Why make a single decision upon which of the three grilles?

You could put in four rivnuts in strategic locations on the radiator panel. Some studs and for convenience a washer and a wing-nut to hold each corner down. Then you could interchange them to match the day's whim. Or to match the opinion of whomever is being chauffeured around for the day!

Kind Regards
Lionel
