Thanks Arthur and Hendred. I have gone with the high temperature black silicon approach for now. Hopefully that will keep the end plates in place for the foreseeable.

I took the opportunity to paint the radiator - I had some Hammerite Matt Black high temperature paint on the shelf, and also used it to touch up some gaps in the black paint on the engine. It looks OK on the radiator, but has come out too matt on the engine - or at least more Matt than the rest of the black paint on the engine. Can anyone advise me what black paint (presumably semi- matt?) I should be using on the engine, and if I do that should it be the same on the radiator?
