Hello everyone, can someone refresh my memory.... I'm installing the rad back into my clipper. I see the 3 bolts going down each side... the top and bottom have the spacer( which I assume accommodates a rubber...that I can't find.) does the rubber go between the rad and the cradle? Or next to the flat washer? I didn't think I threw anything out.... but cannot find and rubbers for this rad. Thanks!

Here is the mounting info. It is a 51 bulletin but when they made the mounting change after the early production cars it remained the same thru 56. Some have been able to get the rubber washers in the plumbing supply dept at the hardware store. Important thing is the solid mount is in the middle and use the spacers so the rubber at top and bottom doesn't get crushed and still allows the mount to flex a bit.
