Radiator Rubber Grommets

I need a source for replacement rubber grommets that are part fo the radiator mounting brackets. I did not see the on Hudson vendor sites.

Thanks.

This is what Walt Mordenti recommend. He said that you could also use two (2) '72 to '88 AMC lower front shock bushing kits or Ford Mustang from '72 to '80.

Pacemaker500,

When I mounted my radiator, I just went to a local Napa store, and looked at the rubber parts they had in stock, hanging on the racks. I ended up buying what I believe are valve cover washers for a Toyota, or something. Basically, they're even better than shock rubbers, because it's a composite of a rubber bushing bonded to a metal washer. Be a little creative, and you can save lots of time and money.

While at NAPA check out the rubber wire grommets. When I was looking for the same part that is what I used. There is one that will fit without any modification. You then put the brass sleeve in from the old ones ant they are an exact look-alike replacement
