Cutting the rubber pads down for the bottom and top supports. Some people have even cut an old bicycle tire and used it as the rubber pads.

Re: My Radiator Won't fit

When I installed my radiator I initially found the same problem, i.e., the top bracket was sitting a half inch too high. But I as I tightened the bolts, the rubber compressed and the bracket went into position perfectly.
