Looking for help & suggestions on replacing a deteriorated radiator support on my 1980 L48 Auto coupe. Need suggestions on a reputable source for purchasing new support, cushions and anything else I will need to do the job, so as to best duplicate original appearance & function. Any tips on actual replacement procedure ? While I'm at in would also like to inquire about a source for T-Top weather strips and outer door window seals with again, originality a priority. Thanks in advance for any help you can pass on.

I believe that there is only one manufacturing source for these radiator supports, although it's possible there are 2. I've never been able to verify that, though. In any event, I believe that most, if not all, of the reproduction supports are manufactured by Coffman Corvette of Mansfield, Ohio. Tooling up for something like this is expensive and it would not seem like the market would support more than one manufacturing source. But, who knows?
The rest of the seals, etc. that you need are available from Dr. Rebuild. I think his seal kits are the best. Instructions for installation are provided in the Dr. Rebuild catalog and also in the seal kits. The good doctor has this one "down cold". He also sells the reproduction supports.In Appreciation of John Hinckley
