Radiator Support Crossmember

 
Just tagging onto the back of this thread, as most people know the 197/200 radiator support is now discontinued (8200803451).

The standard clio one has the support bracket in the wrong place, so current options are:

a.) Buy a standard one, cut off the bracket and weld it in the correct place.

b.) Buy one from BTT (which is basically same as above).

c.) Buy alternative one from Wheeler (or get a genuine clio cup racer one).

I had mine replaced under warranty in 2018 and its rotten through again (advisory on last MOT), so given the options above I've bought a cheap pattern part of fleebay to modify...

My question is, does anyone have the dimensions for where the hole is meant to be, looking at some pictures I've found online I'd say the hole is meant to be closer to the frame than the standard bracket?

Here's a pic of a genuine one found elsewhere :wink:
