Default 1935 Ford radiator to grille brackets

Hello, i am trying to assemble my late brothers 1935 3 window coupe and have been having a hard time finding the radiator brackets that hold the grille. Unfortunately the radiator on the car does not have any brackets.

Does anyone have a spare set they sell or maybe even some photos of what they look like?

Thanks in advance

George

Possibly these brackets > These are currently for sale on the H.A.M.B site > https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ckets.1199459/

Hey Pete. Those brackets are part of the frame that the radiator sits on. I think he is speaking of the small brackets that attach to the radiator itself. The 35 does not have these little brackets/braces as did the 34, at least not on the pickup.

Not the rod brackets. The bracketd that attach to the radiator, what the grille gets bolted on to

I'm thinking that you're going to have to find a donor radiator to obtain these brackets....

Likely given that they are riveted on to the side panels.

Can you tell us more about the radiator you are working with? A stock car would want the multiple brackets (clearly shown in the pictures) to be part of the radiator for frame and fender and grill mounting and line-up. They weren't a separate piece for 35 radiators as DavidG said.

petehoovie...I may be wrong, but I do not think the brackets pictured are for a 35. If I remember correctly, the 35 has only one hole for mounting the radiator whereas the 36 and later had two. Perhaps there was an early and late 35?

oldandtired, You're correct, those frame gussets/radiator supports are the '36+ version as the '35 version had but one hole for the radiator. I understand that the extra hole was added to accommodate a different radiator mounting position for commercial vehicles.
