Help with Lower Radiator mounts for 24" radiator

[miller511]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of putting the larger 24" radiator in the '68 CS. The original was a 20" bolt in. The 24" is a clamp in type.
My question is- On the lower mounts, the brackets bolt to the angled part of the frame on each side. There is an existing holes on the frame on each side that appear to be threaded (not sure of this).
Do the bolts thread to the frame?
Or is it a through hole that gets a nut on the backside?
The bolts that came with the kit do not clear the frame holes. But are almost of a size that might thread in.

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, They thread into the frame, The originals were self tapping flange head bolts. also, be careful of the new rubber seats, they are tough to install around the bottom and top tank of the radiator. Don't want you to damage anything. Hope this helps. Mike

Hey thanks Mike.

I did dry fit the brackets (upper and lower) to the radiator and those Scott Drake rubber insulators are a very snug fit.
