Hi the radiator support in the front of my car (260Z coupe) is badly rusted and full of bog and silicone from previous half arsed repair jobs
I know that the gussets at the top of the support are available but does anyone have any suggestions or know where I can get hold of second hand radiator support? It would be a whole lot easy to replace the whole lot then try to patch up the mess I have
Cheers
Tony
Rusty Radiator support
Good luck finding one that is not in the same condition - most of those that you will find (if you can these days) in a wrecker will have the same rust issues. New will be almost impossible to get as I believe Nissan got rid of the S30 tooling back in the 80's so unless there are some NOS somewhere looks like you might have 2 choices.
1. Purchase a 260z 2+2 for cheap (however getting harder to find for this reason) and use its front end (many have gone this way once a 240z was damaged on the track)
2. Fabrication - make some new bits of steel to replace the bits your require.

Option 3.
