1970 Camaro large opening rad support

[Tracker1]

Need two, good used or repairable (minor metalwork) considered. Yes, I need two (2). LARGE OPENING.

These came on HD-radiator-equipped cars
AC cars
Z28s
And some big-block applications

Thank You in advance.

Here are the unique identifying features of the this rad support. Red arrow indicates wide mouth 25" opening. Yellow arrow indicates hole for AC pipe for AC equipped cars - the rad support would have this hole regardless of AC-equipped or not. We have a 1970 L78 and a 1971 RS Z28 in need of these supports.

FYI... the NOS ones I have seen were always the small opening with instructions to open it up for the HD application. The other issue was they were never stamped with the large opening for the AC.Good luck with your hunt...

If you know measurements of the hole location and its diameter, they sell hole dies that can radius the opening.

The hole is actually stamped out and would be difficult to replicate. Not saying it couldn't be done. I will keep a look out for you Tracker1. And you're welcome on the picture you posted.

Now that tool will do the job. It could be used to convert a NOS to a OEM.👍

I will get you a measurement when I get home later.

I was able to get a measurement on the hole. Its 1 1/4 inches. Sorry I wasn't able to get a picture and a location measurement. I do have 3 original large opening supports. They are all in need of work for use. I'm away on a trip for a week. When I get home I can maybe send some pictures if your interested?
