Re: 21-23 radiator cradle isolation.

I still have questions. Guess I'm dumber than I thought or just not familiar enough with pre 51's.

The cradle has a square hole where the carriage bolt head fits. A fabric loom insulator surrounds the bolt. There would be a space under the cradle needing to be filled by a rubber washer and steel washers as shims. Below that the frame hole which is about a 1" x 1 1/2" rounded slot. Another rubber washer and the final steel washer/nut assy would go under.

Where would a third rubber washer go? The utility item (arrow) is 3/16" thick & listed as lower. Am assuming that means the very bottom under the frame hole instead of under the carriage bolt head. No dimensions given for the other two listed as upper insulating. Are those two items an either/or choice or are they both used? If both, any idea of the sizes and do they just stack together or do they have molded in steel bushings?

It is interesting the vendors have the 4 rubber donuts for the side rods but none mention anything for the lower ones.
