Question Where can I buy *JUST* the upper radiator mounts?

I need the 2 bolts and the two brackets used to mount the radiators. I tried to order them from Mazda, but they only sell the entire radiator assembly. I have already scoured the FS/WTB section of the forum. Before I fab some up, I wanted to see if there are any other resources?

Thanks in advance fellas!

Grasping at straws here, have you tried the various junk yard part search sites like uneedapart.com? Search for "radiator support". But, you may have to buy the whole used radiator.

The other alternative is to upgrade to an all aluminum radiator, the upper mounts are welded on so you'll never loose them .


The plastic end-caps of the OEM radiator is prone to leaking, and the whole thing is sized just a little too small for summer time stop and go traffic, so an upgrade is a good idea even with the supports.

They are difficult to find. Most people get toss them with the stock rad or swap them over to their replacement radiator.

On my single pass Koyo, PWR, and Koyo N flow the mounts are not welded on. I did however save my original mounts. I haven't personally seen a radiator with welded tabs. Sounds nice for a stock mount tho.

I was going thru some parts today and actually found one side for the mounts. You can have it if you want and perhaps use it to fab up the other side. Just a thought.

I made some pretty easily out of some aluminum from lowes and a dremel. I can post pictures if you want.
