HELP...Radiator mounting
Im stuck on a problem. I practically destroyed my radiator, and was told it might be easier to get a new one. Well i replaced it with a griffin which what I was told was one of the better ones. So i order a Griffin. It gets to my house all nice and shiny, I look in the box and find there is no mounting hardware. No problem i think i can either order some or do a little Texas fabrication. Well i couldnt find any mounting hardware. Where can i find some, or give me some fabrication ideas. I dont have much to work with, maybe some scrap metal.

Hi 1970F-100,
When you put the radiator up to be mounted in it's usual manner, you end up w/? > Gaps between rad mounting side wings + screw holes (where they are suppose to go)!
Using sheet/scrap metal 1/16"> (.062) to fill in any gaps should be structurally sound enough!
