    Have been trying to work out if it possible to use the bottom section ie: the lower rail including corners from HJ thru HZ radiator support panel to repair an HQ one or are they a bit different?

    I believe you can convet a HJ-HZ rad support to HQ quite easily. I read it somewhere only a few days ago. Cant remember where now.....

    the differences are in the corners as in where the blinkers/headlights sit on an hj to hz...yes you can use an hj to hz lower to repair the hq one...i have done it before...

    Thanks for this - hopefully the rust free HJ-HZ panel I picked up at a swap meet the other week isn't as useless to me as I thought it was going to be... had brain fade when I bought it (helped by a seller who was 'certain' it was HQ!) only to be reminded how different HQ ones look when I got home and looked at my ute. Cheers

    easy to pick

    just remember that all hj to hz had 2 holes in each outer end of the rad support next to the headlight holes to accomodate the blinkers...hq didnt...
