hoggyf Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Doing a bit of maintenance on the bike and I noticed a loose fixing on the radiator at the bottom then noticed both bottom fixings are loose? Is it supposed to bolt right through from the front of the rad through the rubber bushing and frame?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfc Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 The rubber grommet has male stud on one side and a female thread on the other, replace the grommets and all will be well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggyf Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just a thought but what holds this in? Haven't tried removing it properly but even with the nut off the back it was held tight, tempted to drill through it and bolt right through as a temp repair until getting some new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 JFC explained it. It is a rubber mount, if you drill it you will have more of a solid mount. Mounts are way cheaper than a radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 The mount is threaded through the frame, just unscrew with a pair of grips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
