Hi, just received an excellent oil cooler guard; now trying to work installation process. Is this a beak off job (and if so how) or a lights off job, or some other variation - any hints willingly accepted!

I have one of Migsel's guards, and I had to just drop the beak about an inch and feed the guard up!

For the TT grill you have to drop the beak as well.

Being a tight git i made my oil cooler guard from a B&Q sheet of mesh.
I didn't drop the beak.Remove the screen,silver instrument cover and plastic light surround and you should have space to silde the grill in.

All done, thanks!

beak off then fit to grill, easy for 1100

undo the bolts that hold ye oil cooler on ,then the self tappers on the beak.
depending on what cooler cover ye fit shape the grill so it all goes back same way.
