Radiator Mounts Wanted

Post by dpcd67 » Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:58 am

I need the two pieces that are welded onto the cross tube that the radiator mounts on. CJ and WW2 ones are the same. Someone thoughtfully cut the ones off an M38 frame I have. So, if you are scrapping a frame, cut out those sections and send them to me. For $ of course.
I'm trying to avoid having to make them but I know I will have to.....

Disregard. I had forgotten that even though the radiator comes out attached to the engine, there are two tabs on the cross member that have studs from the radiator. They are pretty basic, maybe easier to make them?

Yes, I already have the steel cut off; now have to bend them to fit the tube. But my 20 ton press will do that easily. I am just copying another M38 that I have.
1/4 thick about two wide. 5 long. Holes in the ends; pretty basic as you said.
Thanks for thinking about it.
