1990 zr1 radiator mount insulators

[David C.]

I have a 1990 ZR1 that has had an after market radiator installed. I am trying to return the car back to original but the rubber radiator mount insulators were modified to accommodate a thicker aluminum radiator . I also could use a replacement fan shroud as they modified this too.

Question- Are the ZR1 Insulators unique or can I use any 1990 Corvette parts?

Thanks

Dave

The insulators were unique to each of the 4 positions (i.e. 2 upper and 2 lower). However, they were the same for both L98 and LT5. The radiator SUPPORT HALVES (i.e. the upper and lower halves which the radiator mounts in) are also the same for L98 and LT5. The radiator SHROUD (i.e. the part that the fans mount to) was also the same for L98 and LT5.

Now the bad news: NONE of the above-referenced parts are currently available from GM.

Joe,

Thank you for the information. I should be able to find some used ones since they were not unique to the ZR1

Thanks again

Try Contemporary Corvette. He has lots of used parts and has always been fair with me.

You might also try whiteracingproducts.com. Limey carries a lot of NOS parts for our ZR-1s, but he can be pricey and at times he can be slow as molasses in the winter. Good stuff, though and I've bought several parts from him

Jim,

Thank you for the information. I have checked with White Racing and couldn't find what I am looking for. However, I think I have found some on E Bay. There also is an individual on the ZR1 registry that has some so I should be able to get through this.

Thanks again

Dave
