Upper a/c condensor brackets missing bolts / hardware to radiator support.. Help! (Page 1/1)
phils88GT SEP 04, 09:53 PM
I have a problem. I am putting the nose back on the front of my 88 GT. I know the car was wrecked at some point in its past, and am finding now missing bolts and harware from a freaking hack job of a "repair". On this reassembly, it appears that the upper condensor support bracket bolts are missing. Not just that, but the hole in the support for a bolt should thread in to is missing the hardware for the bolt to go into. Here is a picture of what I am talking about:

The holes look like the need some kind of insert... Anyone got any pics of what it is I need?

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks everyone for the info. I actually ended up just installing some nutcerts and using them.

I think I spent about three hours today tweaking and straightening the lower radiator support on my GT. I still would rather just buy a new (good used) one as mine was over tweaked by a previous wreck anyway.

Tomorrow I move on to trying to heat up and get the dips out of my front bumper cover. I wish someone made a fiberglass aero verion that fit well and had foglight provisions.

Thanks again!

haha...about that... I know where one is but I'm not sure if he wants to make the bumper for someone else.
