I bought a radiator mounting gasket kit from "Chevs of the Fourties". It consists of four rectangular rubber pieces. Two of the pieces have holes for bolts and two of them have slots that appear also to be for bolts.
Do they go between the radiator and the frame? All of them? In what order? The bolts that come with the mounting kit are carriage bolts. Are they meant to go up from the bottom with lock nuts and washers on top or the other way around?
Any help would be appreciated :confused: | | |

Radiator support gaskets are shims used to adjust the front clip fender assembly that attaches to the radiator support. No order is used. The slotted ones are installed or removed easily as needed to adjust the front clip.
Set the hood first, then raise the fenders to fit the hood using the shims under the rad. support. Also the fenders will move independently up and down at the attaching point on the radiator support as needed.
Carriage Bolts drop in from the top.
