Help with Rad support mounting

Been a few months since I pulled the front end off my 71 F100 and now that I'm putting it back together I can't remember how the radiator support bolts go. Does one rubber puck go above and one below the mounting hole in the frame? Two big washers per side, one above and below the pucks? What size bolts? Thought I labeled & bagged everything, but must have neglected a few or maybe I lost this particualr bag.

Anyone have any pics of the process?

Thanks

Unless Mike Zero chimes in, I suggest using the LMC catalog as a guideline.

Yes, insulators at the frame and honkin washers on the outsides. Thread a large bolt (about 1/2-inch) through and secure. If not using a Nylock nuts, a lil blue threadlocker is recommended.

Last time I messed with these things was on my 66.

I have the insulators, but not sure about the bolts and washers. 1/2" bolts, how long are they, anyone have a set to measure?

These don't get a metal sleeve to pass through, am I right on that?

Is there a torque value?
