Radiator- Side frames
« on: 16 February 2013, 17:45:23 »
My radiator was leaking from the top hose that connect the radiator to the engine block near the thermostat. I must have applied  a lot of pressure while fitting  a new clip that the plastic hose that connect the radiator to the flexi hose snapped!!! Now as you can imagine the car is unusable until i replace the plastic that sticks out of the radiator side panel.
Question is. Where can i find the side panel for the radiator without buying another radiator? I cannot seem to find any on ebay.

Thx

Aftermarket, unless you are particularly rich.
