1939 Woody Radiator Installation
I’m installing my radiator back into a 1939 frame. (No fenders mounted yet and I didn’t disassemble the car. I got it in pieces.)
There are 2 pair of holes on the front of the frame where the rad mounts, approximately 1” apart. Which holes are the correct mounting holes for the radiator? Front or back hole? Does the location matter to the geometry of the fenders/grill when I go to mount them? (I'm thinking of the location for the radiator deflectors.) |

The proper placement will only matter to the fitment of the hoses. The fenders and grille do not intersect with the radiator. Nor do the air deflectors. I've attached a photograph of a proper '39 wagon frame.

Re: 1939 Woody Radiator Installation
Thanks Kube. My frame looks like that as far as the ends go, but I have an extra set of holes, set in front of the ones in your frame. I guess it served someone's purpose at one time.
Anyway, it looks like I should be using the rear set of holes for placement. Cheers, Al |
