Four Core radiator mounts

    Where can I get the metal brackets that mount to core support for a four core radiator?

    I can find the rubber isolator pieces, but not the brackets. I don't know if they were even available for a 66 Skylark, so whatever I find I'm willing to rework to fit.

    Open to used pieces as well as new.

    (Have an aluminum radiator I'm trying to fit in place of an older 3 core unit.)

    Thanks

    I have no knowledge of your year car as I have only experience with 70-72. With those years only rubber was used and if you went with a bigger radiator you just had to get handy with a razor and gut out the rubber pieces. My guess is your car used just the rubber as well. Do you have a service or assembly manual for your car that would show what was used?

    I think on the 70-72 someone makes the rubbers

    I working on my 66, and they have a bolt in style of mount for the isolators.

    My 3 core mounts are too narrow to fit, so I was thinking maybe a four core would be large enough.

    Will be ordering the four core isolators (rubber part only) from Ames (they give dimensions in their catalog) and then will cut off tabs on the original mounts and weld a small piece of channel on to hold the wider isolators.

    This may or may not work, but it keeps me busy.

    Thanks for the input.
