Radiator core support differences

[92EcoDiesel Jetta]

The bottom core support is from a 92 MK2 Jetta. Not sure what year the top one is from (probably 86) but notice the difference in width of the slots (circled)? There's a piece of bent sheet metal with a screw hole that is inserted through the slot to secure the radiator. Are the core supports interchangeable? Or does it have to go with the correct piece that's inserted into the radiator?

i haven't played with mk2's much, my guess is that its all the same just looks slightly different due to where it was built, mexico, westmoreland, or germany.

one is more slutty then the other.. bolt is what holds it.. so strap the 2x4 on and go for a ride...

they are all interchangeable.. mk2 is mk2.

i prefer the smaller, tighter holes tho!!
