C2 Radiator support repair kits?

[kobi67]

I see many of the parts suppliers offer a kit to replace the lower section on the core support. Mine has some rust and wondered how GOOD these repair sections were?? Anyone use one?? Thanks, Kurt

Kurt, Do you know any of the suppliers for this kit? I would be very interested in this. I just have not seen it yet.

Thanks,

64mike, I ordered mine from LI Corvette. I see Chicago Corvette has them too. They are $90 and what I can figure, it is a replacement for the lower section that it prone to rust. I guess I will see when it comes in.. Kurt

I just got the repair section in yesterday. Looks like an exact match to the bottom section of the support. Should be no problem welding it in...

I've rebuild several of these by plain old metal fab and welding. The one in my 75 was bad the bottom half was just about gone. I couldn't see spending $300-400 for sheet metal if it could be repaired. If you don't have the tools a good metal shop could do it for you. In this case I wanted stenght over NCRS points so I reinforced it with angle iron- it won't rot out for many years to come.
