1936 Radiator Mounts and Associated Hardware

I'm starting to put the front end of my '36 together, but I'm missing some pieces. I have 1936 (I believe) mounts that were originally riveted to the frame and the radiator with what look like the original tabs on the bottom. What else do I need and should I look for factory parts or are they re-manufactured? Pictures would be great.

Thanks, Bryan

Thanks for that. I've seen those pieces before, but thought there might be more. Here's why...the holes in the tabs on my radiator don't line up with the ones on the frame mounts. In fact, the ends of the radiator tabs barely touch the frame mounts at their furthest points.

Here's what my frame mounts look like:

Are they the correct ones?

If I remember right the radiator bolts into the frame.
Don't recall any mounts.
 
The correct radiator tab mounts have two position holes for mounting the radiator, one for a 35 rad and the other closer to the front for the 36-39 std radiator. Those only have one tab mount hole so I'd say they were not the correct ones.
 
Is this the two-hole mount I need? It doesn't look like it would put the holes closer together.

Yes, they appear to be '36 supports. The car radiator uses the holes closest to the engine. The other hole is for commercial vehicles.

I don't believe they will put the holes closer together. You might want to measure the distance between sides and compare it to specs. Perhaps the frame was bent or ???

I have a diagram that I'll try to locate and post it here. It has those dimensions.


The supports with the single hole are 1935 pieces.
 
I haven't located the diagram yet, but I'll check out in my shop tomorrow for a hard copy, scan it and post it.
 
Thanks to everyone who responded.

The Wescott's diagram originally threw me off where it has measurements for 1935-'39 (except Deluxe) radiator mounts. I assumed all mounts would be the same except the '39 Deluxe (which I happen to have). Incidentally, the measurement for the '39-40 Deluxe is correct...24 1/4".

I just measured using the '35 (single-hole) mounts and they are in fact 21 1/8" center to center. So, I checked the radiator and that's where I found the problem...

I guess someone was nice enough to cut the tabs and re-drill the holes. They're 19" center to center...:confused: Luckily, I can fix that.
