Radiator Placement2

[Studebakercenteroforegon]

Nuts should not be required - the radiator support frame is tapped. Although more than once I have had to use a nut if the thread was partially stripped, but fortunately on the top location only.

my mistake it's a 2 door of course

Bob, any luck on those parts I need?

What year and type of vehicle?

Often there are sheet metal "tinnerman" nuts on the radiator, so you only have to get at the screw with a socket wrench.

Also, with any type of sheet metal or flimsy metal, never tighten any of the screws until all of them are started.

Roy, it is a 60 hawk 289 4dr

with the top bolt in you cant even get to the other two

Guys and gals I need help, again.

Can someone tell me if the radiator in the pic is positioned correct?

The 3 holes are not lining up like they should, I can get the top nut and bolt in but the lower 2 on each side
are physically unreachable.


hope you can ssee the pic
