A/C Holes In Radiator Support

While my Mustang did not originally come with A/C, a A/C system was installed at one point with a large number of original parts. The routing of the A/C lines to the condensor does not look original. Two 1 1/4" holes were simply drilled through the radiator support.




The following picture is of a radiator support for a Mustang with original A/C. The holes were made on the assembly line. Essentially, there are two divots in the metal. These were used to align the 1 1/2" hole saw. Once the top and bottom hole were drilled, the center piece could be cut out. The top hole on my Mustang is about 1/4" too high but I still plan to duplicate the original look as it does not take much time.
