Does anyone know who supplies the steel support panel that the radiator and front wings attach? Mines corroded at the bottom. Thanks.

If it's the usual corrosion along the bottom two/three inch's have a welder put in a new section.Straight forward job.

John....you cant buy a lower repair section...it has to be fabricated...I did mine as I too had serious corrosion....the trouble is that most of these on donor Landy are going to be in similar condition....its what I found..hence the repair.......Chris

I don't think you can buy a repair section. I just used a bit of angle iron and filled the rest with scraps and weld. It's held up ok so far. And my welding is pretty poor!

Joe, I'm not sure that's the bit he means if you mean 330443, that's a splash panel underneath the wing.

Here's some pictures of my fixing attempt https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/radiator-panel-needed.223316/#post-2585990

It is just an L shaped bit of steel.Done a few myself,can be done flush if as original wanted or with overlap if you just want it fixed.Front valance covers it anyway.

Correct its part number 347955, not curved cover that sits in front. I like the idea of just welding it's only the strip along the bottom. Thanks guys.
