C3 radiator bracket weight?

[69427]

Anybody have a (preferably early) C3 radiator bracket laying around that they could weigh? Just trying to figure out if it's worth it to do one in aluminum.

Thanks.

Sorry I don't, but when replacing my OEM with a repro in my '72, I found a significant weight difference....almost 1/2 the weight, just by lifting it....

even with all the rust lost from the old one....

and no, it was not full of water....

Radiator bracket? Do you mean the rad frame?

Yeah, what ever it's called. The big piece that bolts between the inner fenders and supports the weight of the radiator.

Ahhh, now I get it. The radiator support:

1969 BB radiator support: 13lbs 3oz *

*From the "Tech" section at VetteMOD (weight reduction options)!

Thanks, Larry. I apologize, I thought I had looked through all the weight reduction section. Somehow I missed it.

Thanks again!
