Dewitt radiator install
Good Evening, Folks hope all is well.
Installing a dewitt radiator with spal fans in my 1973 corvette auto. The radiator is sitting nicely in the core, the core is bolted down with 2 bolts at the bottom of he core, and the right and left clips on top of the core are installed
Other than hooking up the radiator hoses and radiator transmission lines, is there any other support for the radiator core?
Thanks, Reggie

There is a rod support that runs from the bottom center of the support to the front of the car,one support about 12 inches long. I put a Dewitt's in my 75 and the lower trans cooler line was really close to the frame so I shaved off about 1/4 inch of material on the frame.
