Broken bolt while cleaning radiator
A rusted bolt broke off while I was cleaning radiator of debris. I was wonder if anyone knows which bolt it is?

Thank you!

looks like one that holds the A/C condenser onto rad
rads look very tired, I'd strongly consider replacing them

For about the price of factory Porsche rads, you can upgrade to CSF Race rads...all-aluminum construction. I've got 35k on mine so far...
