Radiator support / Crossmember

[annavr6 10]

Hi All

 

Ive been in contact with a chap that has re made a G60 Crossmember, the part that supports the radiator.

 

Before i go too much further with it as they are not the cheapest part i am just looking to gauge interest on them.

 

Here is a link to the actual part

There are 3 types from ETKA

 

535-199-171/D – G60 models up to chassis number >>50-N-002 100

535-199-171/G – G60, E2, ADY engines from chassis number 50-N-002 101>>

535-199-171/G – KR and 9A engines

535-199-171/H – VR6 engines

Hiya

 

Is this the part that basically disintigrates as soon as you look at it? - mine has been completely reclaimed by mother earth and all that is left is the bolts in the front valance! - I would be interested... as long as I dont have to re-mortgage the house expensive?

Hi Anna,

 

Mine is also beginning to rust into oblivion and would be very interested.

 

All second hand versions seem to be in a similar condition.

I would be interested in the vr6 and even more interested in the aluminium one 😏

There is an option of both

 

What would people be willing to pay for one brand new?

Would a steel one be cheaper and easier to manufacture? With the limited use, our cars receive and provided it was properly treated at the factory it would last for years.

[Erallus 10]

£350 for the stainless steel one sounds reasonable considering OEM was £300.

 

I have no idea for aluminium, say £400 - £450?

 

Cheaper the better, but Quality is most important (would pay for quality)

 

This would be for a VR6

I'd be interested in the G60 variant but really need to take a look at mine first as last time i looked there was only a bit of surface rust.

Yes all G60 are PG code in Corrado but is an early/late type according to ETKA

 

[sharpy-vr6 10]

In the thread he says the aluminum is the same price as the steel? But prices may have changed I guess

Thanks for the confirmation. I which case i'd be interested in the later x-member subject to a proper review of my own next time the bumper is off.

[sharpy-vr6 10]

I will update when there is more progress, the chap is going away so waiting for him to get back

[Dude VR6 0]

Any updates ?

[annavr6 10]

Any updates ?

 

He is just starting to put the VR6 sample together to test, then we will look to go into production. They will now be made from alloy to try and keep costs down for all

[Dude VR6 0]

Any news

[annavr6 10]

No updates yet im afraid

Sorry if treading on Anna's toes but did people know that the 2.0l litre is the same as the vr6 but with an extra lug/bracket welded on. So if you have a rusted vr6 one remove the lug from it measuring centres before of course and weld it on to the another one. It's easier to find a 1800 or 2000 one in good nick than a vr6 one, that's what I found anyway. Hope this helps someone who is stuck now and can't wait.

Urgently need one of these for my VR6 which has failed it's mot anyone had any of these from this chap?
