I need a small favor on my '33

[Nervr2old]

I've had my two door apart for so long that I don't remember how the small brackets are arranged on the side of the radiator. They include the hood hold down brackets.
Could someone with an original style radiator provide a photo showing them installed?

Thank you in advance
Tim

Hope this helps you?

Robert,

The lower bracket in your photos is installed upside down.

The photo below shows variations in both the upper and lower brackets in terms of including/excluding the D (clinch) nut and size of the upper bracket.

The brackets shown are for passenger car, sedan delivery, and station wagon V8 radiators. Both the upper and lower brackets differ for four-cylinder passenger car (etc.) radiators.

Thanks David, now that I look at it, It make sense as the hood locking mechanism would need to "hook" under the bracket. That was a "spare" radiator (as you pointed out 4cyl variety) I acquired as back up and was "supposedly" out of a "running" car......SO I took those pictures for someone for "measurement" purposes for a post here months back.....I figured since it came out of a car I paid them NO mind (obviously) as I figured they were on correctly. I will change them back this evening SO when I get to that project they will be right for reference sake.
