55-57 Rad support cushions/shims?

Hi All,

So now that I have the correct bolts for the rad support (thanks to Orrie and mdstitt) I need to get the shims and cushions listed in the manual. I'm wondering if I can make them myself, my main question is how thick are they? I assume it consists of 2 washers (shims) and 1 cushion (rubber washer) Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Sam

I made my own out of some 1/4" thick rubber. Used a 2" hole saw and just enlarged the center with the right sized drill.

X2,
large fender washers and 1/4" rubber works very well
