Well I must say I am well chuffed with the new front aluminium valance. This bit of kit it made from 5mm aluminium smooth to allow you to customise, i.e. paint, clear lacquer or rap. This is still in it’s just out of the box stage. I have some modifications to do. More pictures to follow.

We could market this as the fabricator is willing to manufacture it.

Ps

The cost for these with a small profit for me will sell for around £180 plus recorded delivery.

The cost for tracked Royal Mail will be £17 including packaging etc. U.K. Europe will be £38 plus taxes if required.

Very interested in this all replacement panel, however i am slightly confused by your measurements as to the length of the new panel. My cover is 17" from the the front to where it meets the rear panel - photo attached. Can you confirm yours will fit?

Thanks,
Simon

Sorry for confusion but yes it’s the same at 17inch so yes it will fit.

Cheers

I have created a Facebook page to discuss the cover etc.

Can't wait for the one I ordered from Adrian to arrive. Looks great in that photo!

I have now installed my new draw bar cover provided by Adrian. Firstly, having removed jockey wheel, etc. as in the instructions, I bent out the rear flanges the new cover to match the taper on the dimpled aluminium trim cover between caravan and drawbar. Then I degreased it and sealed it with several coats of gloss acrylic lacquer. I found that it was necessary to strike a compromise as to how far forward to set the cover - It had to go fairly far forward to accommodate the grease nipples in an accessible position, however this left a gap between the two rear parts of the fairing.

For the fitting process I swapped the bolts supplied for stainless steel "cheesehead" allen bolts with nyloc nuts with give a smarter, smoother finish in my view, adding large penny washers on the underside. I found the new part was so accurate that I didn't need the edge trim at the front. I also removed the plastic c-section part - that holds the front of the cover down to the drawbar - and glued that on to the new cover. This stops any tendency for the cover to spring up a bit (due to my inaccuracy with the fitting, I think). Everything else went exactly as described. Looks fabulous and is far sturdier than the original.
