What is the best place to get a radiator mount for a 1997 Jaguar XJ6 VDP?

 

I'm not sure about best, but I ordered from rockauto.com.

 

This part? I couldn't find it.

 

RJ & I thought you were talking about the 4 rubber bushings that ISO-mount the rad, which I also ordered from Rock.Not sure what is in your pic - top or bottom? I'd guess a breaker would be "best" for price, assuming availability...

 

This part is still available, but it is pricey. I've seen them from around $250-350. Not sure why so high, except maybe the NOS inventory is getting low?

They are on eBay pretty regularly in that range, and I think I recall some of the standard Jag parts vendors have them available around that price too.

Just search for X300 (or 95-97) Jaguar lower radiator bracket/mount, or similar.

Two eBay examples:

When I replaced my radiator and condenser bushings, I pulled my lower bracket, wire brushed off the surface rust, then painted it before putting it back in. That should last another 15ish years

... mine wasn't too bad though. If that is a photo of yours, I'd say yours looks excellent. A good cleaning, surface rust removal, then repaint would put you right back in business.

Why not ask one of our sponsors @ Jagbits? No harm in asking.

 

Coventry West has a great inventory of used parts.

 

I like Everyday XJ for used parts.

 

This is where i get all my used parts from, all good quality

 

I would recommend buying a used part, but it is not likely that what you get is much better than the one in the photo.
Recently I did to mine the same as Al's suggestion. It was a much worst shape than yours and now looks brand new.
