Got my '11 Z06 apart and discovered the top radiator support (plastic bracket that holds the top of the rad in place) is all busted up. There are a few for sale, some described as C6, others as specifically C6 Z06. Anybody have any idea if there's any difference? Will one from an '06 Z06 fit an '11 Z06?

Thanks.

I called some people and checked GM Parts Direct. Seems like a C6 top rad support fits base, Z06, and ZR1.

Thanks

Maybe a stupid question, but did you check the lower rad support? One way the upper support could get damaged is if the lower support gets hit hard enough to break it and force it upward a bit.

Not a stupid question at all. According to my research, it's pretty common for the upper support to fail for no apparent reason. I have the body and frame lifted off the cradles and torque tube so I'm going over the entire car while I install the Monster triple and Magnuson TVS2300 and rebuild the prop shaft with new guibos and bearings. Also installed a Katech C5R timing chain and ATI damper, plus I cut the crappy OEM u-joints out of the shift link rod and installed needle bearing u-joints.
