The radiator mount turning to dust is a common issue. I have a new old stock mount for a V6 166. They are very difficult to source. However, I am based in the UK and sending stuff via post is a nightmare now, post brexit. I got charged £70 by customs for an old wiper motor posted from Ireland. However, you may hopefully find a bracket somewhere in Europe outside the UK, good luck!

It makes sense to change the bracket while changing the aircon radiator as this sits on the bracket, as does the oil cooler and the engine coolant radiator. It's worth changing the dehydrator too, as mentioned, because this is a service item and once it blocks up the pressure on the high side prevents the airon. system from operating effectively.

Thanks very much for the follow-up and sorry for slow response. Too much on.

Can I ask if the radiator mount you mention is for sale and if so what price would you be asking? I am in the UK.

It's yours if you want it as the rad. bracket is good on my 166. I advise you fill it with dinotrol and give it a good coat of paint because the brackets catch the salt. Ditto with the oil cooler pipes,cthey are vulnerable to corrosion too.
