71MonteCarloMD Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 When working on front end, I had to replace my radiator core support due to rust holes - I moved stuff from original one to new one. I noticed the Delco Remy unit have surface rust on mount and some on the internal plugs - is this something I should replace or would it be fine with light sanding? Attaching picture, any advice?

71MonteCarloMD Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 It works fine before I took radiator core support out, would it be ok if i leavd it as it is with cleaning up the bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 If it works and can be freshened to look nice I am always for using original parts because they hold up better than repo parts. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Just sanding off the rust and primer and paint it as close to the finish color. Be sure ro tape over any electrical contacts. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
