okie bill Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Question is am I missing part of the radiator or a piece of sheet metal. No place to fasten the top of the radiator or the fan. The inlet on this is cracked. I was going to have it repaired, boiled out and tested, but if part of it is missing I may just go for a new one. Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 What year is it? The original radiator on my '84 Gl has the mounts built into the radiator itself. It bolts to the radiator support through those holes with rubber grommets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It looks like the top fins are missing... You can kinda see them in this picture. The top of the fan shroud bolts to the rear fin, and the front radiator fin is where it bolts through the front clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okie bill Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Sorry. It's an 87 Brat. UBER I looked at your pic for about 20 minutes before posting. Thanks again for all the pics. So there should be a "U" shaped piece brazed? to the top of my radiator? A new plastic radiator probably won't cost much more than repairing what I have, and without that piece it probably isn't repairable anyway. So, looks like I'm waiting on parts again.

bratman2 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yes, you are missing the frame piece at the top. I have never seen a plastic Brat radiator. You can still purchase replacements just the same. I replaced mine on our 87 Brat about 8-9 years ago. Seems I got it shipped from a place on the west coast for a little over $100.00, of course that has been a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
