If you have the original steel sleeves, the thicker one is the length of the sleeve minus 5/32, minus the thickness of the radiator support. Maybe add 1/32 just for cushioning. I would think the thicker one would be between the core assembly and the cradle assembly.


I would have thought the same thing Randy but the two center bolts are solid mounted and do not require insulators. This being the case, I would think that the top and bottom holes were enlarged to allow the insulators and sleeves to accomodate twisting of the core
at the 4 corners and possibly tank expansion and contraction...or not.
