WTB 69 & 70 BB lower radiator mounting brackets.
« on: March 10, 2012, 03:41:00 PM »
Looking for a straight unbent pair, or singles, whatever you have.
Although 69 and 70 bottom AND top brackets both differ slightly, I have a couple of projects on the go, so no matter.

I dont think there is a difference in the lower radiator brackets from 69 to 70....maybe you are think 20 versus 24 inch style radiator brackets?

Here's some pics of 68/69 vs 70 24 inch lower rad brackets.
67 is again unique, and looks different than either of mine.
More material on the side and top on the earlier ones.
Ironic since more material was added to the 70 top bracket.

Thanks Andrew, I'll consider the 70 lowers set.
In the gallery pic, it's the one on the left that I need in excellent condition.
Looking thru the other pics, it does appear better than the one shown on the right in the gallery pic.
My existing set has one excellent bracket, but the other is a little bent up.
I'll see how straightening it out goes.
BTW, any luck on the 69/70 San Jose version of the attaching clips for the rad support to hood rubber seal?

I can see where yours is a little bent in your pics. If you spend a little time you could probably straighten it pretty well. Just be careful because bending on these a lot can stress the metal and cause cracks. They are not very visible once installed either. If you can just get it to where it will install straight then you can probably get it to work for you.

No luck finding any of the Radiator Seal Clips yet. I saved your photo you sent me in case I run across any.  Andrew
