[paddy quinn]

is it possible to use the normal mk2 panel on a td as mine isnt worth repairing will need 1 with crossmember any ideas were i can get a new 1 for thr td from

[TeddyThom]

Mark1? Mark2??

Surely that's a start, and I would've thought that a normal one would work, unless there is something about the TD front panel that is completely different...

[paddy quinn]

i think the rad mounts are different

[bazil]

Crossmember is different from petrol ones,

[paddy quinn]

is there much difference

[bazil]

Duno, never had a derv, just know that when ordering one years ago I was told they were different crossmembers,

[Jack]

I would guess its for the radiator mounts as the derv rad is different to petrol.

The derv one should only have an extra mount hole to take the intercooler bracket... oh yeah its slightly thicker by 0.6mm ish I had the same problem, but replaced it with box section so I could get a bitter cooler on the front (and that the fan on the alternator was twa*in the x-member when the belt was tight 1.7Isuzu)

[windfreek]

*bigger... I think my fingers are telling me I need a drink!

Fair enough. You would've thought that one rad fits all... Like a 1.6 one would fit... But I guess that's too simple eh?

Mk2 has square holes for the grill too

TD slam panels are different, I know that. TD slam panels have a cut out part that bolted onto the slam panel...
