Hi Jim,
The GT6 radiator should go in without problems, it has basically the same
dimensions as the Vitesse radiator.

No, though they may fit - I've not tried. The Vitesse side valances are longer
than the Herald ones because of the radiator sitting further forward. Spitfires
and GT6s had hardboard side valances, the Herald and Vitesse items were always
pressed steel.

I assume you're in the US, but I'm confused by you're having a 13/60 frame -
how did that find it's way to America? There are no new Vitesse side valances
being made, butsecondhand ones aren't difficult to come by in the UK. I have at
least one pair on the shelf at the moment.
Cheers,
Bill.
