Rotted Radiator Mount & cracked intake to turbo pipe

[ctappan94]

Guys,

where can I find a new radiator mount? the one that sits between the frame & radiator on mine is totally rotted out & the intake to turbo hose is cracked and dry rotted. Where can I get these?

Thanks!

That radiator mount, is actually part of the radiator. It is not available as a separate component.

You can use any turbo tubing that is the same diameter. Might check with some local auto parts places.

Or call any of the vendors that advertise here.

If you have the necessary tools and skills, you can fabricate a new bottom mount.

Regarding the Radiator mount: Mine had the sheetmetal piece rotted out but the bar/bracket was still salvageable after I chipped away all the rust and that gasket piece that collects the water and causes the rust. I just made a new sheetmetal covering for it and was good to go again. I think the bar itself that supports the radiator is around 1/4" thick. Is that actually rusted away or beyond repair? If you haven't looked close, it MAY not be as bad as it looks.

I have a good take out here in PA for $400.

Well I definitely see rot at the front but I have yet to remove the entire system. I'll check that soon enough but my 'new' deuce has come with a LOT of unexpected issues - lol so I'm currently working on cleaning out the turbo that is quite literally filled with soot - PO didn't seem to take care of it....

Well at least the radiator is easy to remove. You might have to remove the fan blade because of the shroud. I had to on mine. I kicker is that lower radiator hose. It can be a pain to put back on, but it would probly go on easier before you bolt the radiator back in so you have a little more play. Pics would help if you get the chance. Otherwise, get parts you need from other SS members if possible, otherwise I found C and C equipment or TNJ Murray's great and so is Eastern Surplus. All have phenomenal customer service. Keep us posted on the Deuce and what you have going on. Hope this helps.
