Hi Guys, can anybody tell me if the AU falcon radiator support panel is the same as the AU fairlane. I am looking at building a custom AU Fairlane with a Pursuit 250 engine and a AU T3 Front bar,bonnet,front guards and headlights. If the radiator support is the same than this job gets a whole lot easier.

I don't know about the radiator support proper but I do know the lower support rail that the bumper bolts to is the same. I was investigating making a smartbar fit the 'lane and found out it's the same part # for falcon and fairlane all the way through to BF.

Well Ford spare parts confirmed it today, AU Fairlane has the same radiator support as AU falcon, all the front end is the same. However bonnet does have a different part number but could be just a hole or badge difference. Big steal brace that ties the rails together behind bumper is the same from AU to BF
