lol, just like the china radiators, you can't get good braces for these cars.
all the white line, nolthane etc.. braces are all as flimsy useless paper weights that come from the same factory in china
wait? oh the rear ones LOL, here I was laughing at the crap front ones just about everyone has on that forum.

So ARE from qld couldn't do a radiator for a few months cos their core manufacture (adrad) are moving factory to SA atm.
They recommended PWR. Got on to them but still consulting with ARE on core sizes and such as PWR only stock a 55mm radiator for the V6.
having a custom one made with 42mm core. slightly bigger than stock but will give way better warm up time over the 55 and better air flow at low speeds, being slightly larger give extra head room for summer time and any future mods if needed.

still going back and forth with the radiator design. PWR don't have a OEM style rad fitment wise so basically redesigning one of the existing performance radiator to be more OEM in fitment.
Anyway, had one NOS guard moulding for the RHS but nothing for the LHS. I finally tried Holden, turns out you can still buy them new yay!
Old ones off, broke about 20m of 22 gauge auto upholstery thread, instantly broke fishing line so I stuck to using the tread. was a real PITA to get them off but only way without damaging the paint.
