Hello All

  I took apart my 28 coupe at the turn of the century and I can't remember if their was rubber spacers between the radiator support (car main frame) and the radiator carrier. 

Thanks Lowell

I don't think there is.  When I disassembled my 28 truck for restoration there was nothing there like that.  Not to say someone else didn't remove something over the 90 plus years.

The radiator support mounts directly to the frame. If you add rubber spacers it will change the alignment of the radiator in relation to the hood and cowl.

   Thanks for the info. I'm a fair distance from that part of the re-assembly. Thinking 2-⅛x2x2 square rubber pieces wouldn't throw things off too much. Heck the whole world is off by a ¼" anyway.
