    Mounting a 34 ford radiator

     



    I have a new radiator mount kit for my 34 Ford. But I never mounted one before, So can one of you fine folks explain to me the proper sequence of these parts. I'm talking about the bottom to cross member bolts.

    The two rubber pieces fit beneath the mounting "ears" of your radiator, with holes cut to match your mounting holes in the "ears" and frame mounting tabs/crossmember. The bolt/spring assembly goes on as shown - bolt, washer, spring atop the radiator "ears", bolt through the mounting holes, and nut on the bottom. Mine has another washer to go between the nut and the frame mount. The nuts are nylock so they don't back off. Tighten the nut to compress the spring about 1/2 way, leaving space for the spring to take up any "tweaks & twists" in the frame instead of tweaking your radiator.

    Just to clarify some, in the original Ford configuration the bolt came up through from the bottom of the cross member with the spring on top of the rad ears and the nut on top.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
