2G Radiator Support Question

[cano86]

Hello and sorry for the question but, I have been searching everywhere for a Radiator Support for my Spyder and can't find new nowhere.

Does nobody sell them anymore?

I see everywhere they have the GS/RS support, but nothing for GST/GSX or in my case Spyder GS which am currently building with a 4g63 swap and found out the radiator support is gone.

Can I buy the GS/RS support and modify it to fit my crossmeber as that seems to be the only difference?

Any insight is very much appreciated, trying to get this done before throwing in the motor/tranny. TIA.

Yes the radiator support for the rs/gs are the same. The support mounts to the frame rail in the same way on all platforms.

The physical frame rail is the same where the front support mounts, completely different about 4 inches back to the firewall, but should work just fine as long as you don't need the frame rail just the radiator support

The only difference in the core supports is the mount holes for the engine crossbeam. The beam that bolts to the core support, sits below the transmission, and bolts to the front subframe. Since the GS/RS have a swapped engine compared to a GST/GSX (and GS Spyder), you'd have to cut holes for threaded inserts so you can bolt the crossbeam on the proper side. All spyders whether GS or GST have a 4g6x engine and therefore the same core support. It can work, but you need to modify it for the bolt holes. This is important as your front roll stop mount bolts to the crossbeam.

Sorry for the delay, Thanks for the input guys. unfortunately I dig a bit further in and this shell will have to be scrapped. The previous owner/s had patched it and painted it black, but I pull the glue patch from the rear and this thing is rotted inside/out , Thanksfully I havent installed my fresh built motor and rebuilt tranny. I guess I'll take off all good body parts and scrap the rest.

Really unfortunate being the exterior is in excellent shape, no dents or anything. Time to save up for new shell.

Thanks all.
