Hi, due to extreme corrosion, I´ll plan to replace the radiator support part at my Firebird 67. My question, before I order from germany this big part with lots of shipping costs: Which of these parts in two shops I found is the one which really fits ? 1. Rockauto:https://www.rockauto.com/de/moreinfo.php?pk=5510802&cc=1402805&jsn=11710&jsn=11710 or 2. Firebird Central: https://www.firebirdcentral.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SHE%2D8B&CartID=4
Firebird central is more expensive and much more higher shipping costs. Has anybody experience with that replacement ?
Thanks for your answers.

They are probably from the same manufacturer. The fgf core support repops are something that actually, very reasonably, fit right out of the box. I would have no concerns with either one of those. Also check Ebay or Ames or other repop houses. I can't imagine shipping across the pond though.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

This is not exactly the answer, but I would bet there is only one manufacturer for these. The only issue is whether camaro is different and if they try to give you the camaro one instead of firebird. If Ames Performance ships to Deutchland and it is a reasonable amount I would go with them. They are the best classic Pontiac part supplier. That's all they do.
mine came from rock auto which was Goodmark brand, had to modify the bottom mounting holes just a little bit in order for the mounting bolts to line up properly, other than that no issues. With that being said Ames does make one that is supposed to fit really good, a little more expensive though.
