I am after the piece that comes from the bottom of the radiator support panel to the Hood latch.
I butchered mine to install an intercooler that plans have changed on.
Location Sydney but happy to pay postage on said item.

Hey twase,

When I did the rebuild I wrecked mine and replaced it with a length of 20x20 box tube and cut a notch out of each end. Took me 20minutes to make and fit and happy days.

All you need is a hack saw. When I get home I will try and take a pic for you mate.

Hi there,
Have you done it already? I'm currently wrecking my 1990 GQ and I still have it if you want it, but you must be quick as car will be gone on Thursday.

Thanks
Mike

Thanks mike, I have already made one up out of alluminium. Then I found the section I cut out anyway.
