Does anyone know how thick the rubber pads under the radiator on a 34 should be? thanks, Don

The repro ones I got from Mac's are probably a little less than 1/8. It doesn't make much difference though, because if you want to line up the hood with the cowl, and adjust it side-to-side, you will be adding shims in any event. At least, that is how it worked out on my car. I probably put more than 1/4 extra shim on one side, for hood alignment.
