Radiator shroud fit
« on: March 24, 2011 - 02:51:39 PM »
I got a new radiator and shroud. To mount the shroud it will hit the last coil in the radiator with the bolts. Also to put the clips on for the bolts it will tear up the fins.  To me it seems that the 90 degree bend on the radiator bracket that the shroud mounts to are bent the wrong way.  It also seems that way because the shroud mounting bolt holes are to wide for the holes on the radiator now. yet if the brackets were bent the other way they would line up. Did I get a bad radiator? Any thoughts/ideas?

344speed,

Mr. Bullitt is correct.  If your radiator does not have the mount built in then you will need the kit that he has given you the link to. I was lucky enought that my 22 radiator had the mounts built into to it ....allowing the shroud to bolt up to it.

Is it an OEM replacement radiator?

Supposedly 4 speed. I got it from Ed at the mopar shop in Ca. He said when I ordered it that it was the same one he put in his cars. He said the same about the shroud. I have phoned him but as yet he has not called me back.
