    Radiator mounts/brackets

    Replaced my 2 core copper radiator with a 3 core one, my current mounts and hold down brackets are too small, I was able to make it work however i'm looking to find some.

    I've looked around but cant seem to find anything. Suggestions? Anything aftermarket I can use if i can't find anything stock?

    I have found those mostly on police cars in the junkyards. I know they are hard to find. Ford might have them or could locate them for you. At least get a part number.

      get some flat stock and bend your own?

        Sorry for the delay in an answer. My new job blocks a lot more sites than my old one.

        If I remember there are two different size top mounts on top. One short one and one long one. I cut the end off the short one until I got another long one from the junk yard. When I got another long mount, I think I had to drill a different hole in the mount for the proper location. I also had to cut up (shape with a razor) the bottom rubber mounts to make them fit the new 3 core radiator.

        Sorry I didn’t take pictures during the upgrade, but here is what it looks like afterwards.
