82 Radiator Mount Cushions
The factory assembly manual calls out for #379932 for the upper two cushions and #379941 for the two lower cushions.
I can't find those anywhere but I can find #33530 for the upper and #33531 for the lower. Are these the correct cushions?
One last thing to fix in the engine compartment... I "think".

The first thing that came to mind was,
I'd bet Zip would have those. And then I read the reply above.

Correct numbers but you will have trouble looking for parts using old numbers.

Doesn't the size/thickness of your radiator play into which cushions you purchase? Do you have the HD cooling? Are you using a OEM radiator? Possibly a previous owner updated to a thicker core radiator.

Well I'm screwed for a while, my radiator measures 2 5/8" where the cushion fits but a 2 5/8 cushion measures 3 3/4" across the opening and mine is 2 3/4". Now the fun part Bubba put one upper and one lower in the upper holders... I've not raised the car up to see if any are in the lower holders. So I'm assuming Bubba put a radiator from an 80 or older C3 in there dunno.
No one has the 2" cushions in stock that I can find... well almost no one Top Flight has the set but wow the shipping is high but the price was low and they are CA parts so they are on order.
The radiator core measures 1 5/8" across the top.
I do see there is some cushions under the radiator...
