Where does this go? Help!
I removed my radiator cover to paint it and a rubber block with a half inch curved slit molded in it fell out from somewhere and went bouncing across the floor. Now I'll be darned if i can figure out where it was? Can anyone help? Thanks.

I think there is only one. When I took that pic this morning I wondered the same thing. Didn't see one laying around anywhere. The only thing I know I dropped somewhere is one of the pins that hold the bridge. Haven't looked for it yet.

nope there is one on e each side....look at the top of the plastic rad cover you will see the holes for the nipples and the slots on the bottom for them.
I have an extra if you dont find it.
Dont really think it is needed but I have one if you do

Cajundude, thanks for the picture, that is exactly what I needed to see. That rubber "block" stuck on the edge. Mine even has the dimple with the metallic residue in it. Thanks man!

Man I've had one sitting beside me for two years!!!! I found it on the driveway one morning and haven't thrown it out. So it goes on the drivers side? Could you take a picture of it with the shroud installed? This place is great.

Put mine back together last night and this is the place. It protects the AC line from the radiator cross support. It probably keeps the two from rattling together as well.
