I have the GW solid body and rad. support bushings. Should I NOT use the solid radiator bushing and go with rubber or poly to help "cushion" the radiator a little? Replacement 4 core if that matters.
Thanks,
Guy

Poly Rad support bushings? Are they available? I have been looking and couldn't find any. Poly everything else bushings are are out there '69 Rad support bushings are hard to find. Fill me in if found some. I would go with the Poly's in a heart beat. Why have to worry about replacing them ever again if don't have to.

I just used bolts and washers/nuts for my OEM 4 core and have never had an issue with it.

poly rad bushings there every where. You just have to buy the whole kit though.

I've had the GW solid radiator support mounts in mine for 2 years also with a replacement 4 core, no problems yet.

I've had solids in mine for almost three years with an aftermarket aluminum radiator and no problems.
