I'm guessing this is bad:
Wow! I guess that car lived at redline a little too long previously, huh? ;)
Oh? Did x-wing let you drive it?

Nah, a little JB Weld and you'll be as good as new!!!
I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

If it's brass, it should be repairable.
I'm old-school duct tape on this one.

Hey Martin, if the JB-Weld doesn't do the trick (though it should), you could make a small L shaped bracket to hold the radiator right againts the rad support.

I hear those Italians run HOT! Looks like your weld gave way. Did you check the rest of the system? How are the other mounts? The coolant itself?
A couple choices... remove and have a local shop weld it back up, JB weld, or get a sweet aluminum aftermarket replacement.
Good luck.
I was thinking you may be able to braze the bracket back on?
I've had a radiator like that, happens with vibration, time and heat. NBD

If you're hard up, and want an upgrade, some Miata vendors may be doing Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales.
