75' C3 Radiator
I am replacing the radiator in my C3 vette and I have ordered a radiator that doesn't fit because of the mounting brackets that were original, what is the easiest way to go about this? I was thinking either making new brackets or buying a factory radiator if I can find one.

You going back with electric fans or the original shroud and belt driven fan?
If converting to electric fans, I would take the effort and go with a quality aluminum radiator.

There are an awful lot of aluminium radiators that fit. Or fit with minimal modifications.
You haven't stated which radiator you actually purchased.
As per a factory original? Not thinking that's possible.
As per a replacement that fits as per factory. A couple of options.
Let's start with, what did you actually buy? Why doesn't it fit? Photos could really help here.
