Any chance you would sell the 'Top radiator hold down bracket' separately?

What's the position of the rivets have to do with?

Re: Radiator Associated Parts, e.g.saddles
 

From the position of the rivet, you can tell if the saddle is for a 3 or 4 row radiator. The three row has the rivet in the center of the bottom, and the 4 row has the rivet offset. The photos below show the difference.
1&2). Photos 1 and 2 show a 3 and 4 row bottom saddle for comparison. The 4 row is on left, in both photos. And illustrates on 4 row saddles the rivet is offset. Showing rivet position from top is easy way determine 3 vs 4 row bottom radiator saddle. Without measuring device.
3). Shows two 4 row saddles.
4&5). Photos 4 and 5 show the top radiator hold down bracket. A little additional information. In photo3 you see that the same bottom 4 row saddles, were used to make the top radiator hold down bracket (4 row). Photo 4 shows the radiator hold down bracket from the top, with part of the saddle rivet holes showing. An easy way to identify 4 row top hold down bracket, with out measuring device. 3 row top brackets do not have this hole.

Note: the 3 row saddle is a little bent and may not look lined up 4 row. It is lined up at the bottom. I do not know why the top bracket, 4 rows retain rivet hole, and 3 rows do not. Possibly a welding issue attaching the two parts.
