Radiator Support

[John Wissocki]

I am about to replace the radiator core support and radiator on my wifes 77. I can't find anywhere in the USA that has a pair of lower radiator support brackets. They are L shaped and the GM part # is 327642. If anyone can help me, thank you.

One more thing, I am getting my 82 CE ready for NCRS in Olando, 2004. Does anyone know what type of tools I need to bring? I understand the judges make you remove some parts for inspection. Thanks again.

Lower brackets were a part of the support assembly.

John,
I saw a vendor at Carlisle this weekend called Coffman Corvette. They make reproduction rad supports. Usually the entire bottom rots out from debris packing in there over the years. They looked pretty darn correct although I had nothing to compare it to. Their web address is www.coffmancorvette.com telephone is 1-888-774-0220, or 419-522-2246 and their located in Mansfield, Ohio.

Re: Radiator Support

You will need to take out the spare tire,remove the air cleaner and ignition shielding if it is in the way. You won,t need many tools to do this.
