Broken Radiator Bracket


Modus

Recommended Posts

For some time now my radiator, intercooler and condenser where leaning to the right side. To my dismay the bracket that holds the whole assemby up broke. For the life of me i can't understand why volvo made the radiator brackets face down to be bolted up. I allways thought that to bear a load, plasic was allways stronger with the supports facing down towards the hold, not the opposite direction.

Any how had some time to get to it last week with a few mechanic friends and came up with custom bracket. A true fis other than getting a WHOLE new one. :o

Very good...usually when these break like this, people have not choice but to replace the entire radiator. I'll remember this if mine ever breaks like yours. :)
