Re: is this 3 or 4 core rubber
Mine are 4 core and appear to measure just over 4 inches. I warn you though, I had to measure them while they are in the truck, certainly not the most accurate way.

Yes 4 core. I would try them on the new radiator before buying different parts.

Re: is this 3 or 4 core rubber
Here is a pic of my 3 core, I made them out of a 2 core tthough by welding a piece in the middle of bracket to make it bigger and filling gap in rubber with rtv so the measurements could be a little off. looks like whole bracket is 4 inches

Re: is this 3 or 4 core rubber
looking at the LMC catalog shows that not only are the rubbers different the actual brackets are different as well.
Ill see what I can beat together when the new rad comes in. got it from board vendor RnD Fab http://www.rndfabrication.com/C10middle.html more expensive than the Ebay things but Im trying to stick to the US made and high quality for any parts that matter. I want to be confident my wife can drive it to LA and back. |
