Default Looking for cooling plate? Also polished rad brackets

Hey guys look at the pic and looking for between radiator and the frame there a plate. Do I need to make one or is there a company that sells them? I am also looking for polished or billet radiator brackets.

Bigger brakes don't stop your car any faster.

Just saying.

It's called a Carbing Radiator Cooling plate. They're about $90.00, google it and you can find them..

Does anyone have a picture of the Carbing cooling plate? I googled it and the pictures are of cooling plates that vary from picture to picture. How exactly do you know what you're buying?

I'm not sure what you're saying in this post as it's not clear.

The cooling plate in the first pic is the Carbing Cooling plate.

Okay, now I think I follow your question. No, there's no company that makes a plate for the area between the Radiator and support. You have to make a custom one..

Here's a pic of mine..

Thanks for clearing that up.

MKIVS374, Have you considered just getting the factory plastic panel that goes into that area? Unless you are looking for some "bling" which is understandable.

I have two of the plastic ones in perfect condition. But if you look at wicked sc's pics you will see the dilema I face. He had to use a set of mkiv radiator mounts to mount the radiator. I need to make a plate to support that. The stock brackets dont even come close to fitting. Anyways hope when I am done and painted my bay looks half as clean as wicked sc's.
