HELLO.....is anyone home on this forum? LOL How could a week go by without a single post? After all, the 75th birthday is coming up for the 1932 Ford and I'm sure many of you (like me) are working on roadster projects. How come no activity?


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ....................... HEY, QUIT MAKING ALL THAT RACKET, WE'RE TRYING TO NAP HERE !!!!!


Actually, i had the same concerns when I mounted the '32 grille and Brassworks radiator on my '27. When you are going down the road these two items take a real beating, and move around a fair amount. I used the traditional stainless round rods that go from the firewall to the sides of the radiator, and put rubber doughnuts under each mounting bolt on the radiator, and after about 3 years of driving, the mounts broke loose from the solder on the radiator, and I had to have a shop resolder them. I also left the bolts slightly loose, so the rubber could flex a little.

My frame has almost no flex, but the position of the radiator right over the front spring puts a lot of vibrations into the radiator. I think the original radiators were bolted on one side, and had a small coil spring around the bolt on the other side. Not sure of that, however.

Don't have any real answers for your situation though, just thought I would add to your post that I have seen the same problem.
