The bottom radiator mounts are part of the steel side brackets. There is no such thing as a top and bottom. They are both part of the brackets that go on the left and right. Held by M8 bolts

i guess it's the intercooler mount then.
sorry. I am doing a v-8 conversion and threw out the radiator and oil cooler and mounts because i bought a kit from grannies and did not think i would need any of that stuff.
but i dont have the brackets that the kit mounts to. the support i have has two mounting holes on each side about an inch apart and what looks like 10mm size bolts.
ugh. cant find a picture or where to get those brackets.

yep sounds like ur referring to what the oil cooler hangs by at the bottom of the radiator. should be easy to fab something up, just flat metal no more than 1/8" thick needed, and be fairly accurate when drilling the holes. and unless someone beats me to the pic, i'll get u one this weekend.

radiator was shot. I drove around the neighborhood and she was spewing coolant all over.
and the oil cooler looked like it had taken one to many speed bumps. was very banged up.
got the radiator mounted this weekend.
but yeah, i threw out a few things i wished i had saved. doing this in a 2 car garage, and not a lot of room for old parts i am not going to use. if you're in S. FL and want stock sprongs or a set of 84' GSL axles or a 1980 rear end (minus the chunk) look me up. they'll be going soon.
