Re: PO has me PO'd
K...Jon, I may have found an answer for our ill fitting alum. rads., seems like the 4 core brackets with a 2-3 core rubber works best

Re: PO has me PO'd
MAN these pics just saved me serious frustration and a bunch of time. This way makes sense. I was making no sense.
good work on your blazer while you were doing the floor and rocker area work were you putting the fender and door on and off to check the alignment of it all or was it just done from measurements?

Re: PO has me PO'd
When you're up I want to show you "Plan B" on the rad mounts. I think I can skip mounting them on top of the support all together and weld all those holes in. I'm going to make a long "L" shaped bracket about 2" x 2", and vee shaped from top to bottom, that will weld to the sides of the radiator and bolt into the two vertical supports on either side of the rad. I'll do them in aluminum and polish them up

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
Finally got the alum. rad. mounted up. Seems like the problem is the corners of the tanks are more squared off, as compared to the radius of the stock tank. Got some 4 core mounts, thanks 6t727t2, and this gave me more space for the rubber to lay down. I still have to shorten the brackets by a 1/2", but atleast it's mounted in securely and I can move on to plumbing

Re: PO has me PO'd
I'll just put some rubber washers there. It's still going to be sitting in the factory 4 core saddles. I'm going out now to get some aluminum stock and the welder will come by later today. I took pictures of the templates and I'll post them after it looks like it's a success...LOL

Re: PO has me PO'd
I think he told me that he has a buddy that does it... He had those and another part done for $100 or so. One thing good about California I guess... wouldn't be that cheap out here... I think I sold them to him for like $50 or something too.... sorry Jon

![]() JC was over yesterday, dropped off my hardtop, he was very impressed with your '67 grille. I think he may be in contact with you. My parking lts slipped rite in, and that whole grille fit well. I used old parts including the hood latch Finished up the grille/core support area, working on the hoses now Bought myself some presents for getting a new job, top box and a tool/work cart. Parts came from Tim Christian, grille hoop clips, some other parts. Still one of the best guys to deal with... ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
are you missing the grille center support?
Tim just sent me up some door seals; hope to see him the 8th or 9th down in Carlisle. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Not missing, just didn't put it in. It feels real solid without it, maybe later maybe not at all. I may modify it to use the bottom half....looks like I'm going to miss Carlisle, enjoy and buy lots of parts

Re: PO has me PO'd
I was actually near Cherry hill, NJ for the bed... my sons ceiling fan is this one... hopefully he likes speed!
This isn't his but you get the idea... i have clouds painted on the ceiling.. now I just need to find a few Japanese zero's for it to shoot at. I also have some Mario Andretti autographed prints to hand in his room still...
