Knackers Member 102 Member For: 14y 3m 1d Posted 02/04/14 10:37 AM Author Share Posted 02/04/14 10:37 AM ^ planning on it.Got all the parts at home. New mounts, new rad support and new headlights.Headlight were disappointing, full replacement due to one broken mount point :/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87845-how-to-replace-radiator-support-fg-f6-2009/page/2/#findComment-1463123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackers Member 102 Member For: 14y 3m 1d Posted 09/05/14 01:00 PM Author Share Posted 09/05/14 01:00 PM Rad supports in... $1,000 labour to replace everything. Turns out it's a major operation to do right. All good now.Don't attempt it yourself unless you're handy with a grinder, welder and can re-gas an aircon afterwards. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87845-how-to-replace-radiator-support-fg-f6-2009/page/2/#findComment-1470686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knackers Member 102 Member For: 14y 3m 1d Posted 09/05/14 10:53 PM Author Share Posted 09/05/14 10:53 PM It was the cheapest quote around. Your post before saying $250 for the part and $150 labor makes me wonder if we're talking about the same thing.
