The incorrect copper/brass rad. in my car is going to be replaced with a new Dewitts one this weekend. Engine is the L-79 with remote fill tank.
The current copper/brass (AutoZone replacement?) has 2 bolts into the bottom of the radiator (where the the 2 rubber cushion mounts are), and I noticed on the DeWitts that the 2 guide tubes that the rubber mounts go over are not threaded for bolts.
Are bolts used at all to secure the bottom of the radiator to the mount, or does it just sit in the mounts, and the securement of the radiator is accomplished by the top bracket?
Also, is there any other cushion pad under the radiator besides the 2 rubber mounts? I have purchased the mounting sealing foam kit from the Dr., but none of the pieces seem to be a pad for the bottom.
Thanks in advance for any help.
