HB rear valance shape

Postby rizzo » Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:35 pm

Anyone got a pic of the HB rear valance, mine has had the lower part fitted prior to me getting it, but im not sure the shape is correct, as im going round the underside doing any welding needed thought i would ask, anyone?

yeh the problem with mine is that it doenst have the inner panel fitted to the outer, i guess who ever did the job originally didn't think it was worth fitting as its been cut right out, this leaves the valance a little wobbly hence the shape i guess.

I reckon it's worth fitting as it joins the chassis legs together making the whole thing stronger.

I agree, turns it from a flat panel with a bit of strength due to the curve, into a box section.
