Radiator mounting bushes?

[mazfg]

Just had a look at my radiator and looks like there are some bushes on the mounts...mine have all squashed and have seen better days. Does anyone know where I can get replacement ones from? Paddocks didn't seem to know and Rimmers havent anything on their site....?

Thanks

I used some of the mounting rubbers you get in the body mounting kit when you fix the front or rear tub to the chassis?

I fitted one each side between the Radiator bracket and the mounting bracket on the Chassis, then used a 1" x 3/8" UNF Bolt and nyloc with a couple of large washers to clamp it in place, be carefull with the clearance between the Radiator Cap and the Bonnet when you close it ??)

Regards

I have the  earlier radiator, with header tank and cap on that. Looks like I may have to improvise with something.....tap washers again....

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but Canley Classics lists p/n 608836      BODY MOUNTING PAD for the early radiator; see #5 on the drawing on this page:

I did see those on canleys, but even though mine is the Early cooling system, the mountings look different..... I'll have to double check again but I thought I had 4 vertical mounts rather than the 2 horizontal shown in the diagram.,....?
