The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Radiator core support attachment - 1958 1/2 ton

I'm in reassembly stage and want to confirm that the core support is fastened on each side with hardware in the following order: Bolt passes through split washer, shim, cushion, SPACER and core support, cushion, then a second shim?

Also - I can't find new spacers anywhere....I assume they are necessary....what have others done to replace?

Bump - really need help on this...can someone verify that I have the order correct? Obviously makes a difference on everything lining up....anyone with a 58 or 59 1/2 ton??

I'm not sure exactly what the question is, but if you need a shim I think it would be to raise the whole core so no need for one underneath, and the split/lock washer would go on just before the nut. Next to last.
I'd use a large washer for the head of the bolt to ride on(if it fits) instead of the split one 'second'.
Body shim/spacers are @ the FLAPS.

In the end expect to put it together and take it apart several times at least before 'things line up'.
I found some things reveal themselves after the 3rd or 4th time of fitting them all together and blowing them back apart looking for an extra 1/32 clearance.

Thanks - I appreciate the help...it is now together (3rd try, as you suggested it might take!)
