All done - just need to get bumper back on...

was your old rad cradle actually holed through?
I have cleaned up quite a few of these, and reused them again.

Jag inly recently started making new ones, but at £175+vat, they are pricey for a bracket.


heres one i did earlier, but from a 92 XJ40 so a different design, but same principle.

Thanks for sharing the photo's of your clean up.

It was a question of time - I will clean up my old one day (more likely it will sit with a number of other jobs to do)

best option is to send it to shot blast and powder coat. Assuming there is something left after blasting. its hard to tell until you get back to bare metal).

look up a local outfit, and you might find somewhere to do it for £20 or under.
Can be cheaper still if you send them a job lots of stuff. i used to send around 6- 7 parts at a time (varying sizes), and pay around £50- £60.
