172 Cup Top Radiator Brackets - pic request.

[adamlstr]

Can someone show me their 172 cup radiator top mounting brackets please?

Turns out the radiator that my car had was completely wrong so had to special order one from Renault, and now it's missing the top brackets.

I've ordered some in (7700836498), and they look wrong also - and I have no point of reference to see what they should look like.

Google threw me up lots of nice engine bay shots, but none showing what I need.

 

[172-sport]

These are the correct ones

I have got two sat here doing nothing.

 

[adamlstr]

Hmmm, cheers for posting.

That's what I have sat on my desk, just can't picture how the radiator sits in them.

 

[Wilky0302]

Hi would you be interested in selling one as i have just snapped one of mine?

 

[MG cup]

Neither of my cups have a radiator fixing like those pictured, both mine have an 'L' shaped bracket with an M6 stud on one end and rubber grommet in the other that slips over the moulded plastic pins at either side of the radiator and a 10mm nut secures it to the slam panel via the stud.

no pics sorry

See, that makes more sense to me.

Any chance you can get a picture tonight? (pretty please)

wrong, those are for a 172/182 with AC

172 cups without AC have completley different brackets

What are the chances of you having some on a shelf somewhere Fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

doubt it but speak to Renault Wolverhampton

 

[MG cup]

No I can't as I would have to take the car apart but I did find a pic on eBay

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=141053471215

I'm pretty sure I have a spare set of these that I bought to custom mount my race car rad, could have a check if 2nd hand bits would do you.

They're who I've got these wrong ones from.

They'd be ok tbh, I can always clean them up.

 

[MG cup]

I'll have a look tonight and let you know if they're still about.

Cheers.

Anyone happen to know the part number, or able to find it on Dialogys? My version only brings up the AC version (the mounts I have).

 

[Fred@BTM]

I "think" they come from a 1.4/1.6 clio with AC, hard to find, they're not listed under a 172 cup

 

[Fred@BTM]

this is them http://www.daciashop.eu/auto-parts/...gan-1-4-mpi-1-5-dci-radiator-mounting-bracket

[172-sport]

They are the ones I took off my old and and they fitted fine.

Cheers anyway mate. For the price of them I might as well go with new ones.

 

[JP83]

Holy thread bump Batman!

But I am missing the top brackets for my rad. I'm running without A/C (but the car had it originally). Which brackets do I need?

 

[adamlstr]

Jeebus @JP83 😂

Yeah, pretty sure you want the part number from post #1; they look like the ones that @172-sport posted on post #2 that didn't fit my Cup at all.

 

[Martin.]

Another thread bump

@adamlstr what ones did you get in the end for your cup, is there a chance you might remember any info? Trying to source some for my 172 cup rad.

Holy potatoes!

Yeah, it was Fred to the rescue, with:

part number 8200695121

Those were the jobbies for a 172 Cup non-AC rad bracket!

 

[Martin.]

I'll enquire with Renault cheers

 

[adamlstr]

I'll enquire with Renault cheers

No probs, don't give them a reg number, you'll only get the wrong thing!

 

[Touring_Rob]

Don't suppose anyone has a pair of the A/C style ones above do they? I've been an utter bellend and bust have thown mine away while having the engine out.

Have you found any that fit as I need a new set as well!

 

[Pegasaurus Rex]

I’m also looking, they are NLA. So a good used set or getting a set fabricated is looking like the only option, if I could find just the rubbers I’d like get some made in stainless

 

[MLB]

It does sound like it, but the rubber is probably going to be the problem. It uses the rubber to clip into the radiator doesn't it?

They don't really clip in tbh! Just sit in the gap of the radiator

 

[MLB]

Ah right, thanks!

I'm missing mine altogether so looking for alternatives or have to wait till someone breaks a car with decent ones attached.

They should be the same on 1.2 mk2 clios too?

 

[MLB]

Are they? I thought I'd read they were specific to 1*2 except the 172 cup. That should make it easier to find.

Maybe I'll see if there any breakers near me with old Clio's but they don't seem to have any usually..

 

[Pegasaurus Rex]

Just been to a scrappy this morning, they are not the sale as all mk2’s unfortunately!

 

[MLB]

Just checked a neighbours petrol non sport mk2 and that looked like this:

 

[Louis]

That's a shame. I didnt know for sure but just presumed renault wouldnt make so many types!

 

[HaveaCuppa]

I don’t suppose anyone managed to find anywhere that sells these for a 182 with AC?
I’ve just snapped both bolts in mine.

I can still drill them out and possibly put a nut and bolt on it but would prefer a fresh set if possible?

Failing that, what’s it like running the car without them? They don’t seem to take any load or actually ‘fix’ to the rad
