Hi guy's,

Went to install the radiator brace rod's & they are too short...This is for a 30 coupe...The rod's are original & about 25 3/4 long...I'am thinking the radiator bracket is sodered in the wrong place ? Anybody else had this problem ?

Are my rod's the correct lenght ?.

Thank's Greg,

I had the same problem with original radiator rods and a repro radiator that cost $600. The repro bracket was made wrong, as in TOO SHORT.
