Am I missing something? Lower mount to AC Condensor

[BTango]

Over the next few days I am replacing the waterpump clutch fan, hoses, belt, and t-stat. Everything except the radiator itself.

I flipped the petcock to drain the coolant and noticed the lower mounting brackets to the AC condensor are just floating, not mounted to anything, and I can wiggle it back and forth against the rad, which I am sure will cause a leak in the future. I'm also missing the lower rad mounting bolt, so I'll grab one of those.

Am I missing some sort of lower support that holds the condensor a hair off the rad?

Thanks guys.

I went and looked at mine. It's definitely bolted to something

It looks like your condenser has been replaced with a generic version. The factory one bolts to the grill at the bottom. You can search ebay for a used 2006 condenser and see the bottom is a bit different. There also should be a rubber air dam down there to direct air through the radiator that probably wasn't replaced when the A/C work was done. If you want to attach it you need to pull it forward. If the holes don't align you'll probably just have to make a custom bracket.

Sweet. Thanks guys. I made little rubber insulators by cutting slits in short pieces of old heater hose and slipping them over the condensor for now.

I'm debating converting the ac compressor over to OBA so I'll just ditch the old junk and be done with it.
