Cold Case

They were close enough that I was able to lube them up with PBlaster and force them in since the grommets are rubber. Also, the driver's side of the bottom tank was made in such a way that we had to cut the driver's side end of the bottom of the radiator support to make it fit, and the bottom tank was so wide front to back, that it hit the front ends of the frame rails and kept the two nubs on the bottom tank so far away from the grommets there was no way they would go in until we also trimmed the ends of the frame rails up. .
We have moved those nubs 3 times for customers! I don't like to make excuses but that is almost 60 year old car. I'm afraid that the corvette radiator will always be a problem because of the precise size of those nubs. As far as the thickness of the radiator, that's a trade off for performance. Our unit is the largest aluminum 2 row made. Again, not making excuses but the corvette radiators are all very tight squeezes with little room for even the slightest tolerance.
