Radiator Core Support on 46 Merc

46ford

Senior Member
Does anyone have a graphic or photo showing how the radiator and core support mount in this car? My car came with only the V-shaped core support (mounts to a single hole at bottom) and it is not clear how the radiator installs in the car. A pic would help, if anyone has access to a car with the radiator out.

It's winter otherwise I's go to a local show and look at someone's car...
 
The Ford is mounted like this, i guess the Merc is similiar.

I did not have anything except the Wishbone, so i made my own for the 42, and i looks almost Ford but it works in the same way.

The radiator stands on the L shaped parts in the bottom, and then is ,onted on the side widt two bolts.

Well that explains why the parts don't fit. Here's what the Merc looks like:

Here's what I bought. Inner fenders on the Merc are obviously different because the front fenders are different. I'm gonna need the parts from a Merc. Should be easy to find lol
