Tks Jeff and Charles. I can get a section of the louver area cut out of a rad. support for 150$ and If my rad. support had the louvers, I would save that money. I would consider cutting and welding in the louver area into a new support. And Charles, If the rad. support was available with the 3 louvers i would Buy in in a New York Second.
So as it goes it's like this.
#1 130$ for a louverless Rad. Support with Front Cross Member. New
#2 150$ for a section of the Louver area Used Add 1 & 2 = 280$
#3 350$ for a front end cut off a louverd Rad. Support with Front Cross Member.Used
Option #3 would include enough material to get the pieces i need But cutting spot welds and prep'ing the sheet metal will be like double the work since i have to do it to the car as well.
Another option, Do #1 and punch the louvers the best i can or make a 3 time use die and not heat treat the dies. and poss. make a louver punch to do this one time deal. I have seen a home made louver punch made on youtube and i think i could do it.
But to do the louver punching i would need some measurement's or a pattern on the louvers witch i don't have access to. Tks for your input. C-ya Scott
