measuring and repairing core support
i found the diagrahm of measurements but in mm. What type measurement tool/ stick do i need to measure the core radiator to determine how far off its original measurements? the only damage seems to be that the support was moved to the right side. would a body hammer and doily, or maybe even a rubber mallet help to bring it back?

A proper auto body measurement tool (like the one below) is very expensive so it's not really an option for a DIY one time use. A tape measure in mm is still very useful, and you and also make your own tool for a set measurement.
https://www.stokker.com/diagonaalide...mcn/-507440080 If it's just the radiator core support that's bent, you can bent it back whichever way you want. If the frame rails are bent then you need to put the car on a frame machine ideally. |
