The radiator support from my 51 3100 was fastened to the frame with two bolts spaced 8-10 inches apart, but it had definitely been "tampered with". It had a piece of 1/2-inch thick steel wrapped around the bottom in place of the normal sheet metal standoffs.. The steel wraps about 6 inches up each side and I'd guess it weighs more than the whole original unmolested support. They had a strip of rubber between the support and frame, also about 1/2-inch thick. Definitely overkill on the repair. I've seen pics of the repop supports with the wider bolt spacing for what that's worth..

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
