Radiator support bobbins

[Tyre_Tread]

When I removed the rad one of the bobbins bolted in from the front separated rubber from metal.

Are these just exhaust bobbins as fitted to minis or are the specific and if so where can I get a replacement?

TIA

If I am picturing the right part - I have just bought a couple of these from TVR Barnet to replace the ones on the Cerbera. I'm assuming they are the same?

Either way, Terry at Barnet understands these things

They're nothing special but as said above, it's important the bottom pins are located and supported properly, especially if an ally rad is being used. Have heard of closed cell foam being used to support the full width of the rad bottom too...

Cheers chaps.

I'll make sure whatever I use that the rad has its little botty supported.

I just wondered if anyone knew specifically what they were from.

Bought a couple of them today at Halfrauds - they are indeed mini exhaust mount bobbins at 99p each!

Does anyone have the size for these? I am yet to remove my radiator and would like to get some.

Thread size, M4, M5, M6? Overall length? Rubber thickness for the alloy radiator?

Many thanks,

Dan

Thanks Sardonicus.

I didn't realise they were so big. I have some at work, but I think they're M5 or M6. I haven't got the car with me at the moment, but presumably there's a nut on each side, so either 5/16 or M8 will do the job, providing I get new nuts.

I must flush my mind out and fit new censors (correct spelling).....
