Hi Guys, I search for a set of 4 Radiator Isolators for a 4 Row Cooler. I bought on Ebay and Rockauto 1 set each, but when I compare them with the original ones, the bearing height does not fit, the width is narrower, and also the mounting pins do not fit. It basically works with enclose rubbers, but the original ones would be better. Does anyone know if they are still available to order with sending posibility to Austria?
A proper set would include 1236777 (2) and 1236778's. I have some good used here if you don't find new ones.
Thank you for the Link. They 4 row isolators on Page 21, right up (in Firfox PDF reader), look exactly like that I have. The mounting pin I can't say exactly. Picture from my isolators - 4 row red above Thank you also. I think the 1236778 are only for the 3 row radiator? My 4 row radiator is 3 1/2", and the 1236778 is for 2 3/4" radiator? Picture from my 1236778 which does not fit to my radiator
The 70-72 Skylark GS’s did not come from the factory with 4-core radiators, which is what I think you are working on. Like Matt said above you would need 2 each of the —-77’s & —-78’s for an original 3-core. If you are installing a 4-core then you are going to have to alter an original set to fit. Also, and more importantly, you need to make sure not to set the radiator too tight against the fan shroud. You will be putting in a radiator that is wider then the car was designed for, and if it’s too tight I have seen where the engine vibration actually will make the shroud “rub” a hole in the radiator. You can make them fit, just be careful. Duane PS, I do know they make the 4-core insulators for the Chevelles, but I don’t know if the rubber “pins” match up to the holes in the core support or the top plate.
To confirm @Duane's comments above, I modified an original set last time I put a 4 core in and also had to use a spacer to move the fan shroud out at the top & either modified the holes in the shroud or the locator tabs on the core support to space it out @ the bottom.
Picture one the lower looks like will fit. But i wait for BrunoD if he has it. Wrote a PM. I think it's a good Idea to modify the 3 row 78, if I don't get it. Thank you. And I made special Holders for the shroud to keep it at a higher position, because the holes where to big. Sorry, I don't wrote that they are for an electra 71. They had a 4 row radiator original with clima. And thank you for the Information from the "shroud rub"! I have a Radiator from U.S.Radiator, which has a litte bit thicker metal, but i will check this!
I think tomorrow Larry will be here.If he does come I will show you pitures of all the onesnI have.I do have them small and big,so a lot of choices . Bruno.
These are the ones I have, let me know what you think. And I just found another set of original 4 core radiator . Bruno.
I think they should be like the third ore/and the bottom one. If there are some from the others look like that (it's hard for me to judge from the picture) it would be good. You can see that better for sure. Wrote you a pm.
