Hi,
Does anyone have the original bolt and spring lengths for the mounting of the radiator to the frame.
Thank you
 
In the past I've used the plain steel radiator mounting kit from Bob Drake, seems to work well. Never had a judge at a show measure the radiator mounting bolt to see if it was correct?
 
I am concerned with how tight they should be. If they are too long they will be too lose.
 
The original dimensions were: 3/8-24 x 2" for the hex bolt with cotter pin hole, 23/32" x 1 1/16" with five coils for the spring, and 3/8-24 (13/32" x 9/16") for the castle nut. The finish on all three was S-2 (black oxide).
