    63 radiator support

    I have searched for a long time for a 63 Fuelie radiator core support. Cant find one (My car ended up with a 64 unit for some reason).
    Decided to replace it with a reproduction unit.
    I have seen them listed in catalogs from DR Rebuilt and CC. Who sells the best Repro ?

      I believe that all of the reproduction radiator supports on the market are manufactured by Coffman Manufacturing.

          Rainer,
          It is my understanding that G.M. at some point decided to use the FI core support for all applications as a replacement part. I have searched for a non FI '63 only support for some time as my car seems to have this over the counter replacement support with the oval FI opening. I missed out on a couple this past year or so.

          I have however seen quite a few '63 FI supports for sale claiming to be the original deal. Maybe you should hold out just a little bit longer as this seems to be more available than the non FI '63 only core support.
          They seem to be out there!

              Want mine??

              My split window had a body off in the late 70's, and over the counter GM parts were used... it has a radiator with the correct part number, but with a '76 date code... and it has a FI replacement support. (the car is a 327/300) I'm headed to VetteFest next weekend and I plan to buy/order a dated radiator, non-FI support and replacement shroud.

              Need a FI support?

                  I have seen F.I. radiator supports for sale on Ebay, but they were all the later version, with the straight, lower front brace. Those were used on late 63's , 64 and 65 Fuelies. The one I need has the curved brace.

                      Coffman Corvette - I just got core support brackets for my '68 from them, and they are dead nut "ON" for correct replacement. Nice folks too.

                          Could someone tell me if this is the "hump" where the horns mount that is unique to 63? IT also has a slightly oval hole for the S-Tube.

                          Thanks
