New radiator support
Anyone out there have any problems with replacing the radiator support on a C3? There are 4 cradle type brackets (2 top and 2 bottom) that the radiator rests in. The 2 top brackets have welded nuts that bolt to the support. The right hand bracket (which is original) does not line up with the holes in the new support. 
I've contacted the vendor (who shall remain nameless....for now) but I will have to wait 'til monday for a response. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this before.

Just purchased a new radiator support from Paragon and had my radiator recored. I have the support in but not the radiator yet since I am also replacing the vacuum lines. I just matched up the upper original brackets to the new support and the holes line up. Hope that helps. 1971 350.

My top brackets did not line up so I redrilled the support rather than ship it 3,000 miles back. I suspect my rad had been replaced with a different year (it had the Auto trans cooling lines plugged)
