passenger's side trim is on.

now moving towards mounting the radiator frame, I had the bushing from steele already moons ago. I had to figure out how to replace the spacers though. spacers could have been reused if I cleaned them up and painted them, but I found some bronze bushings at lowes that just happened to be the right size and I cut the tops off with a hack saw. perfect and they wont ever rust again.

my problem is mounting the radiator to the cradle. I have seen what Kev and JW have done and have the general idea (although I did buy the wrong rubber washers and will need to go back), but the problem is.....are there supposed to be speed nuts mounted on the radiator cradle where the 1/4" bolt goes through?? I need some good pictures of how the bolts gets attached. I see the holes for the bolts, but I don't see that they are threaded or anything.....soooooo what am I missing here.

also...JW/KEV can you guys tell me the size of the toilet bowl bushings?? I guess I didn't see those at lowes...only saw the smaller ones from like faucets and stuff. (ignore the rubber washers I used, but you can see how I'm confused as to how this all mounts up)

also mounted a couple of 240v profusion heaters. One 7500w and one 5000w. On high I can get the garage up to 80 when its mid 30s outside. plus....no more stink from my diesel heater.
