The one that mounts across the radiator. I have one here but my other two cars did not have them.

So, were they standard on all the Bugeyes?

If so guess I will clean it up etc etc and install it.
 
I'm pretty sure that they were standard on all Bugeyes. Mine is missing, along with the 2 brakes that go from the radiator to the fenders. A project for another day...
 
Breaks that go from the fender to the radiator, you mean the supports? Show me.
 
By brakes of course I meant brackets (I'm a little sleepy today). On driver's side (RHD) it is just an L bracket. On passenger side it would have the air inlet for the heater air hose. Don't have a picture handy.
 
Ahh, ok understand. Air inlets are available from VB, maybe the bracket as well.
 
I'm probably not going to replace the heater, so I'll eventually be looking for a pair of brackets only. Thinking of doing an oil cooler where the air inlet normally goes--seems to be a common place to mount one on a Bugeye, and some extra cooling would be welcome.
 
Just wait till it gets cool, you'll be glad for the heater.
 
I might add one eventually, but it's near the bottom of the long list I've got.
