Which of the three holes on each side of the frame are used to mount the radiator?? Ones closet to the engine, middle or the closest to the front of car?? How does the radiator panel mount? On the topside of the frame or the bottom side?? Also, is there a source for the support brackets that are supposed to be on each side of the radiator, I think the lower set fastens to the inner fender, not sure what the top one does...all four of mine where tourched off. Thank You....Jim

However you mount the radiator, get it as close to the fan as you can, about 1/4 inch, if possible. That will ensure maximum cooling effect.

The panel mounts to the bottom of the frame. The upper brackets attach to the upper part of the grille shell.

the radiator mounts to the hole to the front of the frame. For 35 there is only one mounting hole on the flat surface. the radiator mounting ears are on top of the frame. I do not know of a source for the brackets on the side of the radiator.

Thanks for your help, holes closest to front work fine. Jim
