TFC Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Engine is in and I'm finally ready to install the "dog house" on my 52 B3B. Looking over how the attachment was handle before there are quite a few rubber pads/shims that were used wondering if this is the way this should be done. Seems like the brackets have a fair amount of adjustment built into them to handle the alignment? Should I use rubber mounts on the attachment points? Any insight as to the best way/original way this should be handled would be appreciated. Pics attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 yes you need something in there, not metal to metal....anti-squeak and vibration damping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Thanks ggddad1951, makes perfect sense. What about the front center mount under the radiator? Mine only had large flat washers when I took it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 My radiator support to frame mount was metal to metal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Mine was and is spaced with metal spacers (washers) tightened down good and snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Dog House back on! Thanks guys, used rubber shims made from radiator hose for the fender attaching points and large metal flat washers for the radiator support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
