Hello Again Everyone,
Got some quotes back for my upper radiator supports. If there's enough interest I'll have these made up and available for sale. Lead times are likely ~2wks (the laser CNC shop has been on the ball delivering parts for me)
What:
Upper radiator support made from aluminum. Factory rubber radiator support fits snugly into the bracket for perfect fitment with your radiator.
Why:
FFR's setup reuses the stock stamped steel supports cut in half and rotated 180deg. It's functional, but doesn't look too pretty. If you need to raise your radiator to clear the steering rack bellows the top of the radiator is no longer planar to the mounting surface on the front subframe. The steel pieces don't work as well if the radiator is much higher that the frame.
Cost:
$38*.
Includes
2 laser cut aluminum brackets
2 machined aluminum standoffs
2 stainless steel bolts (fits FFR supplied rivnuts)
*Side Note:
Customers will need to measure actual height from top of radiator to top of subframe. Actual length needed will be supplied to ensure proper fitment. If I find the average length standoff required is much shorter than what I anticipate (~1" total), cost will decrease ~$5.
Pictures:
Prototype uses flat head screws, final version uses button head screws
Prototype (ignore non related air fitting):
