I think I have one mate. There was also 2 for sale on eBay yesterday hang on

I’ll drill mine out and try to make something first. They seems fairly tough to get a hold of.
Cheers though

Fair play, 12 years on and here we are.

Just changing the radiator on my 172 Cup and wondered if brackets were available to buy as mine are a bit grubby.

Turns out you can't buy them new anymore.

And for completeness and hopefully helpful to someone in the future
These are the non aircon AC brackets:

Told you they were grubby.

Will freshen these up and reuse.

I’ve seen worse. Take the rubber off and drop in a bucket of DEOX-C for a week. That’ll definitely clean up.

How do you get the rubbers out? I though there would be a slot to slide them in, but unless it's rust fooling me there doesn't seem to be?

Or brute force oust them out?

Never done one tbh. What’s the other side look like?

Figured it out. Brute force.

Now smuthered in Deox Gel.
