TC radiator support rods

Post by Warmuthb » Thu Apr 23, 2020 3:36 pm

O.K. I know the right side rod is bent for clearance for the intake manifold: What about the left side, passengers side? Should it be straight back from the rad stay to the scuttle bend?
Both of mine are bent - left worse than the right.
Thanks,
Brian

It's a straight shot, no bends other than at the firewall end.

Thanks Steve, that's what I thought. The bends I have other than the intake clearence just don't look "factory". I'll straighten em out while i'm tinkering under the bonnet.
