Technical Urgent help please: Best place to source radiator bracket?

[exciton]

Hi All,

Could anyone recommend the best place to source a radiator support bracket (Nosejob '05 1.9JTD) as mine is completely corroded and about to give way? I think the Eper part number is either 46510936 or 51731758.

I have quote enquiry pending with the local dealership but I imagine that this part may well be generic across a few different models. Does anyone know how to confirm this (using eper?) as I may try some of the local scrapyards?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Hi Mark
If you're happy to use a secondhand part, you could try DA Motors (aka DAM Fiat). 01268 767424. They're in Essex but are more than happy to send parts by post. I've used them a few times for Multipla parts and never had any problems. A quick search of the forum will show that several others have as well. You can email them a photo of the part you're after to make sure you get the right bit if need be.

I don't know how it is in your area, but Multiplas in the breakers near me are about as rare as rocking horse poo.

If you want to buy it new, I would think that Fiat are your only option for a part like that.

Hi WMF,

Many thanks for your reply. In the end I decided to take the easy option and go for a new part. This is only available from Fiat and was ~£51 from a couple of FIAT dealers and £45 (+P&P) from shop4parts. Went for S4P in the end as combined with purchas for 2x front wishbones.

Cheers

Mark
