Good Afternoon
Looking at my Radiator mounts it seems the rubber has perished!!!
I can get the nut undone and the bit thats towards the engine out but are there any surprises with the other piece as I cannot see the nut - is it fixed in place?
There is approx 3,5 cm gap between the radiator mounting plate and the other end - is the part advertised on TVR Parts PN. K0467
TVR Radiator Mount long OE Radiator mount. 70mm end to end, rubber 30mm still going to fit - radiator is a Radtec.
Also will I need to remove the radiator or loosen it to allow the new mount to be installed?

thanks for any advice

If you do ebay, just search car parts for "exhaust bobbin" plenty different types and sizes to chose from.

My radiator looks like the same one as yours. I used TVR K0092

Works fine.

Halfords do them for half the price of TVR parts HEX402

Note that Hex403 is the rear exhaust hangers - also for £1.60

Thank you both for the tips.
Does the rubber fill the whole gap between the mount and body or can you adjust the position of the rad to suit?

No. I added a nut and washer at the back of the radiator mounting . . .
