'50 Model AD Radiator Support Bolts
I'm looking for the radiator support to frame cross member bolts & shims as shown on sheet 2.11 in the 47-54 Factory Assembly Manual. Apparantly in our haste to dismantle last year these items got misplaced. I've looked in the LMC catalog & online, & Bowtie Bits online and have not found these listed. I also searched The Stovebolt and can up empty.
Appreciate any help.

Re: '50 Model AD Radiator Support Bolts
From what I remember I think I just used some long 3/8 bolts and made shims from thick hard rubber, like old tires sidewalls
These shims are a critical adjustment point for fitting the hood to the cowl

Re: '50 Model AD Radiator Support Bolts
Here's the pads

Re: '50 Model AD Radiator Support Bolts
if it's anything like the tf mount there is also a tube spacer thru the rubber
this allows you to tighten the bolt without totally squashing down the rubber
